The gameplay is characterized by a unique spatial twist that enhances traditional arkanoid mechanics, requiring players to anticipate trajectories in three dimensions. While the early stages provide a gentle introduction to these mechanics, the overall experience is described as engaging and immersive, bolstered by power-ups that add variety. However, some players note issues with controls and collision mechanics, leading to a mixed reception regarding the game's execution.
- “Rather than simply repeating the familiar mechanics of Arkanoid or Breakout, it introduces a spatial twist that fundamentally alters how players approach the action.”
- “The moment-to-moment gameplay hinges on anticipation and control, with the player needing to predict trajectories that now include height and distance as well as lateral direction.”
- “What really sets it apart from the rest is its new rotational point of view and the multiple layers of strategy and positional awareness it adds to the already hectic gameplay of Arkanoid-likes.”
- “A very mediocre breakout type game with iffy controls, repetitive music, and irritatingly slow gameplay.”
- “There are more occasions where the collision mechanics seem a bit random.”

The music in the game is characterized by an electronic, ambient soundtrack that enhances its hypnotic quality, with many players appreciating the relaxing and techno elements.

- “A very mediocre breakout type game with iffy controls, repetitive music, and irritatingly slow gameplay.”
- “The only things missing for me were a level editor and the ability to add your own music (though that is easily remedied by turning off the game's music and playing your own).”
- “A very 90's 'club' techno sound from the gritty soundtrack of trance-y harmonies, pulsing bass, and machine-like percussion here is more than fitting, and actually pretty adrenaline pumping for how initially 'cheesy' it might sound to the modern ear.”
