Overall, the gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics, beautiful graphics, and heartfelt storytelling, making it a captivating experience for many players.

- “Love the game so far, but my god, the double jump is such a hard mechanic to work around and master.”

The only way to get the mine is to jump using a tent as a trampoline, which requires precise timing. This problem is not suited for phone users because the screen gets in the way, and there is no zoom-out option available, so I'm stuck here. I hope others got lucky.”
- “Beautiful art style, but clunky gameplay and very slow.”
