Super Cloudbuilt features excellent 3D graphics and smooth, responsive controls that enhance the fast-paced parkour gameplay.
The game offers a variety of challenge modes and a well-designed story mode that allows players to explore levels at their own pace, making it accessible for both casual and hardcore players.
The level design is creative and encourages exploration, with multiple paths and hidden collectibles that add to the replayability.

The lives system can be frustrating, as running out of lives leads to unnecessary time-wasting and pressure, detracting from the overall enjoyment.

The lack of Steam Workshop support for custom levels is a disappointment for those who enjoyed the community-created content in the original Cloudbuilt.

The gameplay in "Super Cloudbuilt" is widely praised for its fluid movement mechanics, improved optimization, and engaging level design, making it a standout in the platforming genre. While some players find the introduction of single-use items and lives to be outdated or unnecessary, the core mechanics remain polished and enjoyable, offering a rewarding experience for both newcomers and fans of the original.

- “What makes Super Cloudbuilt amazing to play is the finely tuned movement mechanics, which arguably provide the best third-person parkour experience available.”
- “Re-balanced to have an easier learning curve for beginners and an insanely fun set of mechanics for people to use to get around... this is a game that feels limitless in what you can do and is one of the few games that gets the mechanics good enough that exploring and moving is fun enough that the game isn't always about completing the current goal, but it's easy to start playing around and enjoying the actual levels.”
- “Lives are an outdated mechanic that don't need to be in games anymore.”
- “The added item mechanics feel like a step forward and two back as well - they do bring some welcome quirks to the gameplay, but the items being single-use and limited in availability end up mostly staying unused.”
