The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a fun and innovative dashing mechanic, though some players encountered issues with diagonal dashing on keyboard controls. While the game is short and includes a couple of frustrating mechanics, such as auto side-scrolling and a challenging final level, it offers solid design and is considered an easy achievement farm. Overall, it provides a satisfying experience for its low price, with potential for speedrunning.
“The dashing mechanic was very fun and new.”
“While on the surface it appears to be a bit of an achievement farm game, it has some genuinely good design going on and pretty solid gameplay.”
“The base game is there and the mechanic itself works smoothly most of the time, aside from when one has to go through multiple obstacles at the same time, that being enemies and walls.”
“Overall, short game but I did have some issues with the keyboard using the diagonal dash mechanics, and it was an easy 100% achievement game.”
“It's just a bad mechanic in platformers (the auto side scroller, aka when the giant enemies chase you) and the last level.”
“1 dollar for 1 hour of gameplay, completing the game.”

The humor in the game is primarily derived from its chase scenes, which are highlighted as a standout feature. Players find it amusing that the pursuers are simply oversized versions of standard enemies, adding a comedic twist to the gameplay.
“The chase scenes were the highlight for me, and the fact that they are just enlarged standard enemies is quite funny.”
