The gameplay has been criticized for being unfair and repetitive, with poorly designed obstacles that detract from the experience. While there are some creative elements and attempts to teach through level design, the overall mechanics feel lackluster and fail to enhance the gameplay meaningfully. Players find the default shooting mechanic slow and ineffective, leading to a frustrating experience.
- “There are some creative and ambitious gameplay elements, and occasional attempts are made to teach through level design, which is a good thing to attempt.”
- “Implementing that damage into the game would've made more sense and would've made better use of the shoot mechanic.”
- “Overall, this game is unfair with the cheaply used obstacles and boring with the repetitive nonsensical gameplay.”
- “It doesn't add anything to the gameplay; it's just there so that the gameplay makes some sense.”
- “It's almost always more convenient to use the latter, as the default shoot mechanic is a lot slower, and you won't be finding the power-ups that often (which aren't even powerful, but look cool).”

Overall, the soundtrack is described as mediocre, with significant room for improvement in sound design.
- “The music is alright too, and actually reminds me of alien creatures and the like for the first few minutes of the game.”
- “Everything else is just mediocre (well, the music is also quite good).”
- “The game isn't really that bad, but it does lack an option menu, which is an issue seeing as the music is horrendously loud.”
- “- mediocre soundtrack”
- “I say that because the music is the same throughout and gets boring and repetitive by the end of the second level.”

The game's story is criticized for being non-existent and poorly developed, leaving players confused about the narrative context. Many find the concept bland and unengaging, leading to a lack of interest in the overall experience.
- “The game itself has no story, and without reading the 'about this game' section (like myself), you would have little idea as to why you were being attacked by one-eyed bugs and massive 'tikkirama' things.”
- “That aside, the story's concept is very bland.”
- “Back to the story, it's not only dull, but it's also massively flawed.”

Players have reported frustrating gameplay elements such as distracting visual artifacts and broken achievements, leading to a generally unstable and unreliable gaming experience.
- “The game is a side-scroller shooter and the controls are buggy.”
- “Once Sleengster was a buggy platformer with some broken achievements.”
- “However, between horrible hitboxes, distracting VSync lines, inconsistent rules of damage, leaps of faith to pointless death, and some impressively dumb glitches (one of which made my character respawn as a tiny version of himself with jumping problems and I have no idea why), any promise it might have held out is just buried in problems.”
