The graphics are criticized for being poorly executed pixel art, lacking the quality of 3D visuals, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players find charm in simplistic graphics akin to games like Terraria and Stardew Valley, the basic visuals and floaty controls leave much to be desired.
- “This features really godawful pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”
- “It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to create 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter.”
- “The graphics are basic, physics need some more work, controls are floaty and the ending seemed like it needed to trigger credits or something.”

The gameplay is characterized by unconventional mechanics such as erratic air movement, wall sticking, and the absence of fall damage, which some players found enjoyable despite the lack of a narrative and a brief playtime. However, the boost mechanic could use refinement, and the ending left many feeling unsatisfied, though the core gameplay elements provided some fun.
- “This game would be amazing if the boost mechanic was more polished.”
- “While the circle mechanic was a little weird, it was fine overall.”
- “The ending was also disappointing, but some of the core gameplay was fun.”
- “I was looking for a game with wacky air movement, no story, walls you can slam into at any speed and just stick to them, no fall damage for no reason, no proper end, and only 7 minutes of gameplay.”

The game lacks a coherent story, featuring minimal narrative elements and a focus on unconventional gameplay mechanics instead. Players have noted the absence of a proper ending and a very short overall experience.
