The gameplay is described as mediocre and occasionally boring, with a mix of crude humor and juvenile elements. While it offers a simple yet challenging experience with varied power-ups that enhance gameplay, issues like an ineffective checkpoint system and occasional inaccuracies, particularly in jumping mechanics, detract from the overall enjoyment.
- “Gameplay is simple but fairly tricky at times, providing a good level of challenge that's neither frustratingly hard nor overly easy.”
- “Power-ups are rewarded to you after beating each stage, and each one adds a new angle to the gameplay that you will be required to make use of.”
- “Simple, fun, and varied gameplay will keep you occupied throughout.”
- “Mediocre gameplay pretty much and boring levels.”
- “Also, the checkpoint mechanic is kind of bad, because all it really does is respawn you; any enemies out and about chasing you before your death and respawn will still be there.”
- “Sometimes the gameplay is inaccurate (especially in the jump) but remains playable.”
