- Charming retro platformer with beautiful visuals and a delightful soundtrack, making it a relaxing experience.
- Offers plenty of unlockables and replayability through various modes like Time Trial and Arcade Mode.
- Simple yet enjoyable gameplay that allows for exploration and casual play, appealing to fans of collectathons.
- The game is quite short, with some players feeling it lacks depth and challenge, making it feel more like a mindless collectathon.
- Character movement can be frustrating due to a small field of view, leading to frequent collisions with walls and enemies.
- Hard mode does not significantly increase difficulty, as players remain effectively immortal, which may reduce long-term replay value.

“Visuals are very cool, the OST is quite the bop, and it feels fluid to control.”
“If you are nostalgic for the 8-bit aesthetic, I think you will enjoy the improved level design and visuals later in the game.”
“If you do like that 8-bit aesthetic, the game has a relatively enjoyable level design, a lot of color palettes, cosmetic hats, and lenses.”
“The graphics feel outdated and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
“The character models are poorly designed and look like they belong in a much older title.”
