    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its bizarre control scheme, stiffness, and lack of responsiveness, leading to a frustrating experience that fails to engage players. While the visuals and humor are appreciated, the overall mechanics are deemed poorly designed, making it difficult to recommend over other platformers.

    • “The control scheme is bizarre and really doesn't help gameplay much.”
    • “It's a bit stiff, but I found it playable enough; however, the gameplay is not compelling enough to maintain any interest.”
    • “Visually not bad, it has its charm. I also like the humor, strange weapons, and enemies, but the whole gameplay is horrible. Platforming is believably stiff, unresponsive, and clunky, which leads to so much frustration and ultimately ruins the whole experience. Definitely not worth it; there are literally hundreds of better platformers.”

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received criticism for relying on retro pixel art, which some users feel does not compensate for a lack of artistic quality and overall visual appeal. While the art style is deemed acceptable, the execution is often described as subpar, leading to a disappointing visual experience.

    • “Unfortunately, while retro pixel graphics remove the need for developers to hire competent artists, that doesn't mean you can go without both artists and decent graphics. To be successful, you have to have both.”
    • “The art style is okay, but everything else is pure garbage.”
  • story
