The gameplay is engaging and addictive, particularly due to its trial-and-error mechanic, though it could benefit from smoother pacing and reduced graphic motion effects to enhance comfort. While the story feels weak, the music and gameplay mechanics compensate well. Some users suggest increasing speed to shorten gameplay and easing difficulty for a better experience.
- “Loved the mechanic of having to die and try again to figure out each level, makes you play more and become addicted to it.”
- “Has potential, need to tune down the graphics motion, can cause seizures. Nice graffiti effect but need to ease the gameplay. Can shorten the gameplay by adding up speed when pushing something.”
- “Has potential, but the graphic motion needs to be toned down as it can cause seizures. The graffiti effect is nice, but the gameplay needs to be eased up. The gameplay could also be shortened by increasing speed when pushing something.”

The graphics are widely criticized for being exceptionally poor, described as lazy and visually unappealing to the point of standing out negatively among games. Many users find the pixel art to be of extremely low quality, detracting significantly from the overall experience.
- “The graphics here are particularly awful, some of the laziest pixel art ever to offend gamers' eyes, so bad that it actually stands out as one of the worst looking games on Steam.”
- “This poorly made platformer is 'narrative heavy' but takes most of the inspiration (to the point of being a ripoff) from Super Meat Boy, focusing on fast and frenetic precision platforming and offending gamers with truly terrible graphics.”
