The gameplay of the game is characterized by unique and intuitive mechanics, particularly the balloon and air system that adds a strategic layer to the experience. While some players find the multiplayer aspect lacking due to low player counts and awkward flying controls, many appreciate the solid audio, decent graphics, and overall fun factor. The game is easy to learn, though it may require some adjustment to the controls, and it shows promise for future development despite being light on features at this stage.
“I like the game mechanics and it is an interesting experience.”
“Excellent gameplay mechanics that are absolutely unique and fun.”
“The balloon and air mechanic add strategy as you can add more balloons on the fly.”
“I appreciate the game's take on a multiplayer death match in VR, but there just aren't enough players, and the actual gameplay isn't as fun as I thought it would be.”

“Breaks every good rule for comfortable locomotion and doesn't actually have much in the way of gameplay to back it up.”

The graphics of the game are generally well-received, described as solid and polished with a visually appealing, cartoonish style that complements the gameplay. While some players found the aesthetics initially lackluster, they appreciated the potential revealed in multiplayer matches, highlighting the game's fun visuals and smooth performance. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the gaming experience, enhancing the sense of immersion without causing motion sickness.
“The graphics look very polished and multiplayer performed well during all but one of the matches I played, which froze up, so we just ended and restarted the match.”
“A very fun and graphically sound game.”
“The graphics are good; there's a sense of flying around a city suspended by balloons, and there wasn't any motion sickness.”
“I found the shooting and aesthetics mostly lackluster, but once I got to matches with bots, I saw the real potential in the game, particularly if there was an existing multiplayer scene: power-ups, different weapons, and tactical positioning to preserve your balloons while trying to claim the central items.”
“Visually simple, cartoon graphics match with basic textures and colors.”
“Graphics are solid.”
