The gameplay is characterized by playful physics objects that enhance the environment, but many players find the overall experience bland and frustrating, particularly due to mechanics that slow down character agility as players collect in-game currency. While the game offers a unique premise and potential, issues such as platforming difficulties and bugs detract from the enjoyment, leading to a mixed reception regarding its execution. Despite these drawbacks, some players still recommend it for those who can overlook its core mechanics.
“The playful non-gameplay physics objects scattered throughout the levels lighten them up and make them more interesting and lively.”
“The gameplay’s main feature is that you get slower and less agile as you gather widgets (the game’s form of money).”
“A cute ferret metroidvania-ish game with a unique play-your-way gameplay.”
“All in all, I found the visuals interesting, part of the controls snappy, but the experience and gameplay very bland.”
“In practice, beginning in the third stage and becoming starkly apparent by the fourth, gameplay begins to drift southward.”
“The physics make the platforming sequences frustrating and tedious, and the lack of widgets (and the ease of losing them, sometimes to gameplay faults such as the screen failing to keep up with the character while descending rapidly from platforms where it turns out enemies lurked below) and the unlikeliness of collecting enough to obtain the final doohickeys killed any sense of reward for completing these sections.”
