The gameplay features basic mechanics that include left-clicking and jumping, with a focus on climbing and color changes, but it tends to become repetitive after about 20 levels. While there are challenging platforming sections, the jumping mechanic is frustrating for some players. Overall, the game is considered worth its price, but a greater variety of gameplay elements would enhance the experience.
“I'm just shy of the halfway mark and so far the greatest mechanic the challenge has to offer is left-click under your feet as you spacebar.”
“It gets kinda boring after about 20 levels though, more gameplay elements would be appreciated but overall it's worth its price tag.”
“However, there are also platforming sections and levels, and those can prove beyond nerve-wrecking simply because the jumping mechanic is so ultra-annoying.”
“The height of gameplay has been climbing a tower and changing accent colors.”
