Sky Noon offers a unique and fun gameplay experience, combining elements of Smash Bros with fast-paced FPS mechanics and satisfying grappling hook mechanics.
The game is highly enjoyable when played with friends, providing a chaotic and entertaining environment that encourages skillful play and creativity.
The graphics and movement mechanics are well-designed, making the game visually appealing and easy to pick up for new players.

The player base is extremely low, making it difficult to find matches unless you have friends to play with, which limits the game's multiplayer experience.
There are no bots or single-player modes available, leaving players without options when friends are unavailable or when the servers are empty.
The game's price point is considered too high by many, especially given the lack of active players and the absence of a free-to-play model that could attract a larger audience.

The gameplay is widely praised for its fast-paced, fluid mechanics, particularly the innovative grappling hook that enhances movement and adds chaos to matches.

The monetization aspect of the game is hindered by a lack of advertising, which has resulted in a very small player base. Reviewers express that increased marketing efforts could significantly boost player engagement and overall popularity, making the game more accessible to potential players.
- “An incredible fast-paced physics-based shooter with a tiny player base because of basically no advertising, and it costs money. Get it if you can afford it; I made a Steam group if you all need to find people to play with.”
- “By far my favorite dead game, lol. If this game got advertising, it would blow up.”
- “What this game really needs, though, is advertising since the player base is extremely small at the moment, and it can be hard to find an active game to join.”
