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, it features limited depth with minimal upgrades and a basic objective of filling missiles before they explode, which may not appeal to players seeking more complex gameplay experiences. Overall, it offers a smooth and enjoyable flow, particularly with the rocket mechanics.
