The gameplay of "Woodle Tree 2: Worlds" is characterized by its simple and accessible platforming mechanics, including double jumps and gliding, which some players find charming and reminiscent of classic games.

- “The multiplayer experience adds nothing to the gameplay, apart from sharing the boredom and the framerate drops with one or more friends.”

The story in the game is described as simple yet confusing, often delivered through unclear visuals that make it difficult for players to follow the plot.

- “The story of the game is delivered in a most confusing fashion, but that is mostly forgiven because of the story's simplicity.”
- “Why go to extreme lengths to explain a simple 'go find the thing' plot anyway?”
