The gameplay is characterized by a variety of new moves and mechanics that promote momentum and speed, making it addictive and satisfying, though some players may find it overly simplistic or repetitive.

- “Additionally, the game felt oversimplified since Toree only had two actions: running and jumping, with no deeper movement or gameplay mechanics.”
- “Several of the levels feel like the same thing over and over again, and are overly reliant on the homing attack mechanic.”

- “The price point is a little high for a game you beat in like a half hour (especially considering it's notably more expensive than the other Toree games), but the replayability of the Toree series somewhat makes up for it.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with some players noting significant performance issues, such as frame drops and inconsistent behavior tied to frame rates. While the ranking systems and optional challenges encourage replayability and mastery, the game's short length and lack of certain speed/movement mechanics have left some feeling that it could have been better optimized compared to previous entries in the franchise. Players are hopeful that future updates may address these performance concerns.
- “Ranking systems at the end of each level further encourage mastery, turning completion into just the first step toward achieving the best possible performance.”
- “Optional challenges, bonus stages, and performance rankings provide reasons to revisit levels and refine techniques.”
- “The game is only a few levels long and will take less than an hour if your only goal is to finish the level, but for those that want to chase lower times, higher scores and route optimization to achieve the highest ranks and grab all collectibles, you can easily find several hours worth of content here.”
- “I don't think the dev properly optimized this release compared to the other Toree games, which run much better.”
- “Kinda weird frame drops on some levels; something about the way they did certain visual effects tanks the performance when it otherwise would have no reason to.”
- “The game has issues, such as performance being tied to FPS, which can cause objects in-game to move really fast if your FPS is high, making one level in particular very frustrating.”
