The graphics are criticized for lacking distinct art direction, resulting in a repetitive visual experience that fails to create an emotional connection with characters and collectibles. Despite this, some users express a desire for multiplayer lobbies, suggesting that the gameplay could evoke nostalgia for classic arena shooters like Quake, even if the graphics do not meet modern standards.
“It does lack in art direction, as the graphics get very same-y, and there is no emotional connection between you and your character/collectibles.”
“I wish multiplayer lobbies were populated because I bet multiplayer would be the closest thing to a modern Quake arena (despite the graphics, of course).”

Players appreciate that the game avoids grinding and repetitive content, with each new level offering fresh and engaging experiences, akin to the mechanics found in "Neon White."
“Similar to Neon White, you get power-ups in the level and there's no grinding or bloated repeated content; every new level feels fresh and interesting.”

Players praise the game's movement mechanics, particularly the parkour system that allows for creative navigation through levels. However, this freedom comes with a trade-off, as skipping sections results in missing collectible stamps and gifts, though players can replay levels to gather them.
“The one thing I absolutely love about this game is the movement mechanic, and the fact that you can do cool parkour to practically skip most parts of levels. Though this is punished because you don't get to collect stamps or gifts, you can just do the level again and collect more; it stacks (gifts don't stack).”
