The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its old-school platformer feel and solid mechanics, while others criticize sluggish controls and a lack of essential features like blocking. The game's charming visuals and engaging design are often highlighted, but many feel that the gameplay experience is hindered by issues such as character size obscuring enemy attacks and a need for quality-of-life improvements. Overall, while there are enjoyable elements, the gameplay is seen as needing refinement to fully realize its potential.
- “I don't know why, but it gives such old school vibes in platformer gameplay. You know the character actually has weight, and you easily feel the jump, which is great. Traps are not frustrating; my only complaint is that the main character takes up 40% of the screen, which can make reading enemy attacks hard, and ranged enemies can hit you easily if you don't pay attention to them.”
- “The mechanics are easy enough to understand after a brief tutorial.”
- “A dynamic game with pleasant gameplay.”
- “Sure the game has undeniable charm with its tower girls inspired design, but the gameplay just feels awful.”
- “I like the style, but gameplay leaves much to be desired.”
- “Only negative thing I have to say about the gameplay is that the controls feel a bit sluggish, almost like there's input delay.”
