The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and poorly executed, consisting mainly of moving left and right to dodge obstacles with minimal interaction. Players find the mechanics frustrating, particularly the use of the space bar, and the lack of variety in the environment and animations contributes to a shallow experience. Overall, the gameplay fails to provide enjoyment, leading to a strong recommendation against the 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.”
“The gameplay is incredibly shallow, with limited interaction and minimal character animation.”
“The environment remains static, and the repetitive nature of the gameplay can lead to a lack of engagement.”
“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.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being low quality and simplistic, resembling those found in low-effort flash or mobile games. There are no options to adjust resolution or customize settings, which further detracts from the overall visual experience expected by PC gamers. Overall, the graphics are deemed inadequate for a PC title, lacking the polish and detail typically associated with the platform.
“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.”
“There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
“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.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”

The music in the game is noted to be a significant aspect, carrying about 70% of the experience; however, it suffers from repetitive looping and lacks variety. Overall, while the music is appreciated, it cannot compensate for the shallow gameplay and minimal animation quality.
“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.”
