The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable but somewhat flawed, with a mix of fun challenges and broken achievements that may disappoint completionists. Players appreciate the minimalistic design and clever mechanics, particularly the need to control multiple characters through puzzles, though some find the difficulty level demanding. Overall, while the gameplay has its merits, it may not fully satisfy those seeking a polished experience.
- “Fun gameplay, a little bit challenging and a good amount of achievements.”
- “The gameplay can be enjoyed; it's an old school platformer. It has some broken achievements, but the game itself is worth the playthrough.”
- “You ultimately control three characters, each with different mechanics, so you have to manipulate them differently through the puzzles, and each has to get home in order to move to the next level.”
- “Overall gameplay was so-so.”
- “You ultimately control 3 characters, each able to perform different mechanics, so you have to manipulate them differently through the puzzles, and each has to get home in order to move to the next level.”
- “Perhaps the most minimalistic platformer I have ever seen and played. While the design is great and there are no distractions, the cleverness keeps you in tension every second of gameplay. However, with all its visual cleanness and minimalism, it's a real hardcore experience; my keyboard just wasn't up to the task for all these double, triple, and quadruple jumps in time (or maybe I'm just too old).”

- “The music tracks, among the rest, are really not that 'fantastic'.”
- “It consists of some random tracks taken from who knows what service that simply puts free-from-copyright electronic music on the internet.”
- “For 'electronic music', I'm talking about a few MIDI tracks that are extremely repetitive and annoying, starting on each level and luckily stopping if you minimize the game.”
