« This Game is very calm and collected for new players and I recommend it if you're trying to calm down from a situation or something in your life. This game is very simplistic and no off screen deaths! »

« Le personnage se déplace toujours aussi vite, rendant le gameplay artificiellement difficile en solo, et injouable en multi. Bref, un jeu frustrant, dont le joueur moyen ne dépassera jamais le premier niveau. »

« Full of hitbox bugs, impossible passages if you do not have any bomb left and other weird environment behaviors that are not logic are making this game an unfair challenge. The v1 was a perfectly balanced game, that is a waste. »

« Absolutely awesome jump and run. Very playable with just a keyboard. (Like in the good ol' days of Commander Keen and stuff...) It's a hard game. But so so good and rewarding. It can be frustrating at times, but in a good way. »
