The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and poorly executed, with players only needing to move left or right to dodge obstacles, leading to a lack of engagement and enjoyment. The repetitive environment and limited animations further detract from the experience, while the space bar mechanic is deemed uncomfortable and impractical. Overall, the gameplay fails to provide a satisfying experience, even for a low-cost game.
“The gameplay involves pressing the left arrow key to move left and the right arrow key to move right with the intent of dodging oncoming hurdles.”
“I have to apologize because I just went ahead and spoiled everything, as that third paragraph contains 100% of the gameplay.”
“In summary, I can’t recommend this game. While I’d expect to be tolerant given that it’s a 99 cent game, the gameplay is just too poorly implemented to have much semblance of enjoyment, in addition to the game not working in resolutions higher than 1080p.”
“The environment doesn’t change, the song loops (and not even that well), the gameplay is incredibly shallow (why the hell do we press space bar to do anything?), and the character you're playing has roughly 8 actual frames of animation in total.”
“The space bar mechanic is stupid: your hands will hurt as well given the tiny moves you need to make in order to avoid obstacles.”

“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort flash/browser games and mobile apps.”

“The environment doesn’t change, the song loops (and not even that well), the gameplay is incredibly shallow (why do we press the space bar to do anything?), and the character you're playing has roughly 8 actual frames of animation in total.”
