Danielle Riendeau of Polygon appreciated the game as a rewarding experience, in spite of its difficulty. In effect, Riendeau likened the reward to playing the game itself, believing it to have "imaginative layouts" and a perfect balance between new enemies and energetic platforming. The co-op play was praised as a fun and chaotic experience.<ref>Riendeau, Danielle (February 17, 2014).

Mark Walton of GameSpot strayed from praising the game's visuals and directed criticism towards the level design. He implied that the game is a downgrade from its predecessors for staying too close to the formula without maintaining the same quality ("your journey gets very familiar, very quickly"). He commented on what he opined as a lack of flow and inventiveness, which he claims to define the best 2D platformers. In particular, Walton was displeased by the game's difficulty, naming it a frustrating and cheap experience based on trial and error. However, he complimented the bosses and vehicle-riding sections, which in his view were unique, unusual and contrasted with the "monotonous" levels.<ref>Walton, Mark (February 17, 2014).
