“Overall, the game is easy to pick up but hard to master, which is a sign of well-designed gameplay in my book.”
“Very solid gameplay and level design!”
“I find the core gameplay mechanic to be a bit too simplistic to be really adrenaline-pumping, and the level design, although good, isn't as creative or diverse compared to my favorite game in this genre.”
“It has some nice visuals but then a lot suffers on the gameplay side, I think. Here's a list of some issues: - the game is overly precise with the grabbing mechanics. - some gameplay mechanics like the trampoline felt inconsistent and would often not bounce me enough for me to reach the intended end destination.”
“Gameplay-wise, I'm shocked how far the devs changed the little alpha into a game that has a lot of replayability.”
