The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring clean and crisp animations reminiscent of the Flash era, and a unique float-flap-glide mechanic that adds a fresh twist to the platforming genre. Players can choose from three difficulty levels, catering to various skill levels, while the overall experience combines elements from classic titles like Joe and Mac and Super Mario, enhanced by engaging power-ups.
“Good gameplay and nicely drawn.”
“Other than that, it's Joe and Mac from Super Nintendo meets Super Mario with a flying mechanic and some cool power-ups!”
“The fly/float mechanic is something somewhat unique to platformers; not many have the float-flap-glide mechanic.”
“The gameplay feels outdated, with animations that resemble the flash era, and the difficulty settings seem to cater to players who prefer an 'extreme' mode without much challenge.”
“The float mechanic is somewhat unique to platformers, but overall, the gameplay lacks depth and innovation, making it feel repetitive.”
“While the animations are clean and crisp, the gameplay itself doesn't offer much excitement or engagement, leaving players wanting more.”

The music in the game has been criticized for being derivative, with some users noting that it heavily samples tracks from other well-known games, such as "Walrus Cove" from Diddy Kong Racing. This has led to perceptions of the soundtrack as a tribute that lacks originality.
“The music feels like a ripoff rather than an original tribute; there's a song in the game that clearly samples 'Walrus Cove' from Diddy Kong Racing or some Christmas jam composed by David Wise.”
“The music is unoriginal and seems to borrow heavily from other well-known tracks, making it feel less like an homage and more like a cheap imitation.”
“Overall, the soundtrack lacks creativity and fails to stand out, often reminding me of better games instead of creating its own identity.”

The stability of the game has been criticized due to significant glitches, particularly during the final boss encounter, where players may be sent back to a previous level upon being hit, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences.
“The final boss is a chaotic mess of glitches; if he hits you after you defeat him, you automatically restart at the previous level, which is incredibly frustrating.”
“The game is riddled with stability issues that ruin the overall experience.”
“I encountered frequent crashes and bugs that made it nearly impossible to progress.”
