The gameplay is praised for its well-crafted mechanics, engaging puzzles, and innovative features like clicking and teleporting, making it a fun and challenging experience. However, some players express frustration with luck-based elements introduced in later levels. Overall, the game offers a rewarding challenge with a good balance of easy and advanced levels, and flexible control options would enhance the experience further.
“Very well crafted game with interesting mechanics and puzzles.”
“Awesome level designs with a fun mixture of cool power-ups/mechanics, and puzzles you have to rack your brain to solve.”
“The gameplay is both challenging and rewarding.”
“Please developer, understand that having a luck-based overload of mechanics at the end of a 60-level slog is not fun or challenging.”
“I feel letting the player control the snake with either WASD or arrow keys while allowing them to switch between the two at any time during gameplay would be nice.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, contributing positively to the overall experience; however, players report significant performance issues after extended play, leading to choppy audio and a decline in frame rates. Restarting the game temporarily resolves these issues, but they can detract from the enjoyment.
“The graphics and music are both impressive.”
“If you play it for more than 10 minutes, the game and music will slow down, eventually becoming unplayable.”
“Restarting fixes it, but the longer it runs, the FPS goes down, my CPU fan starts kicking in, and the music starts to become choppy.”
