The gameplay of the game is marred by numerous bugs, including collision issues, inconsistent mechanics, and unresponsive controls, which detract from the overall experience. While the art style is appealing and some aspects of gameplay can be enjoyable, the lack of polish and frequent technical problems make it difficult to recommend, especially for players seeking a smooth and engaging experience. Overall, it offers a fun experience for those willing to overlook its flaws, but it falls short of higher-quality standards.
- “Highly appealing art style and pretty good gameplay.”
- “Gameplay, however, is still fun and if you can get behind the flaws, it's a neat little freebie.”
- “As decent as this is for a free game, gameplay-wise, don't go into this expecting Mirror's Edge quality, is all I'm saying.”
- “Sunline is a game which is difficult to recommend in its current state: collision bugs, repeating audio, buggy mechanics are the main issues, as well as poor lighting.”
- “Vaulting sometimes doesn't work and it is difficult to keep momentum at times because of faulty geometry; there is a part in the last level in which it is extremely difficult if not impossible to get to the needed area because of how weird the mechanics are and the level design in that area; in the same area, there is a trigger which replays an audio, regardless if you already listened to it, over and over (depending on if you touch it, upon which it activates).”
- “It's pretty fun but controls and overall game mechanics are buggy and janky at times and the game as a whole is still very unpolished and buggy with setting menus that don't even work.”
