The gameplay has been criticized for being unfriendly and poorly executed, overshadowing the otherwise appealing art and music. While the game's concept shows potential, it fails to deliver an enjoyable experience, making it hard to justify its price. Overall, it falls short when compared to other platformers in the genre.
- “The concept of the game is not bad (could've been better), the art and the music are the only good things I can say about it... but due to the gameplay and execution being very unfriendly in every aspect, it is just not worth getting for the price, perhaps even if it was free.”
- “The music and cutscenes are well polished, but the actual gameplay isn't great compared to some other platformers.”
