- Simple entertainment for a small price.
- Dynamic gameplay that can be addictive for some players.
- A 2D platformer with a Halloween theme.
- Terrible controls that make jumps nearly impossible.
- Game is an asset flip with little to no redeeming qualities.
- Only a fraction of the advertised levels are included, making it feel incomplete.

4 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, characterized by the use of asset flips and low-quality templates. Reviewers highlight the game's launch alongside cheap bundles and the presence of fake reviews, suggesting a deliberate attempt to exploit the Steam platform for profit rather than delivering a quality experience.
“The developer, handmade games/ltzinc, took a template from the godawful GameMaker Studio from YoYoGames, slapped a couple of asset-flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
“To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap daily indie game shovelware bundles on launch day.”
“They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
