The gameplay is criticized for its steep difficulty curve and lack of proper tutorials, particularly regarding the jump mechanic, which makes movement frustrating. Though the art style is praised, players find the controls unintuitive and suggest smoother mechanics and clearer instructions to improve the experience.

- “Just make a better quick tutorial to show the mechanics you need for the game and try to make the movement more smooth.”
- “After three hours of gameplay, I unfortunately cannot recommend spending time on this game.”
- “Incredibly steep difficulty curve with no proper introduction to mechanics.”
- “I really like the hand-drawn art style and I really want to see all of the different worlds or levels, but I can't enjoy the movement in this game. The long jump mechanic never gets explained; you just get thrown in and have to figure out how to do it on your own.”

- “The sound and music default to 0% volume.”
- “There's no grace period after leaving the platform during which you can still jump, and the controls can't even be viewed from the pause menu.”
