The game features charming pixel art and a polished feel with smooth controls.
The unique gameplay mechanic of avoiding past selves adds a strategic and chaotic element that keeps the experience engaging.
It's a fun local multiplayer game that offers a challenging and addictive platforming experience.

The game can feel repetitive quickly due to its simple concept and limited variety in levels.
RNG elements can lead to frustrating moments, especially during boss fights and level completion.
Some controls feel unnatural, and the grammar in the intro cutscene is poorly executed.
