The gameplay is criticized for being slow and repetitive, with no increase in speed or variation among characters, leading to a lack of engagement. While the core mechanics are simple and fun, the overall experience is diminished by the reliance on mouse clicks and the presence of DLC that offers achievements without enhancing gameplay. Ultimately, it is described as just another endless runner.
“The gameplay is very simple, as it primarily involves clicking with the mouse.”
“Core gameplay is fun, but at the end of the day, it's just another endless runner.”
“While the mechanics are said to involve the arrow keys, you actually use the W and S keys.”
“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 have 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.”
