The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and straightforward mechanics, making it easy to engage with while multitasking, such as listening to music or podcasts. However, players note a lack of depth due to a limited upgrade tree and minimal gameplay variety, despite the enjoyable flow of rocket movement. Overall, the experience is described as fine but not particularly deep or challenging.
“The controls and mechanics are simple and straightforward.”
“Other than that though, gameplay works great, rockets fly at probably just the right speed to get into a flow state with it.”
“Very little gameplay, limited upgrade tree.”
“The mechanic of this game is also very simple, fill the missiles before they explode so they can change into different stuff that you can collect.”
“The gameplay itself was fine enough and it's an easy game to play whilst listening to a podcast or while listening to music.”
