The gameplay is criticized for being slow and repetitive, with no increase in speed or variation among characters, making it feel monotonous. While the core mechanics are simple and can be enjoyable, the lack of depth and reliance on DLC for achievements detracts from the overall experience, leading many to view it as just another endless runner.
“The gameplay is only to click with the mouse, so it's very simple.”
“Core gameplay is fun, but at the end of the day, it's just another endless runner.”
“They say that the mechanics are arrow keys, but you use W and S.”
“The gameplay is boring and slow; the speed doesn't increase at all after maybe 25 or whatever. I've hit 2k on the first attempt, and the speed was the same as it was at the start.”
“None of the animals has different gameplay; they all play out the same.”
“About 1/3 of the achievements are behind DLC, which unlocks new character skins but no new gameplay.”
