It features a unique blend of VR and non-VR gameplay, allowing players on both platforms to compete on equal footing, which enhances the player base.
The game is visually appealing with a cute and goofy art style, and it runs well even on lower-spec machines, showing great polish for an early access title.

The game can be challenging, with some players feeling overwhelmed and struggling to perform well, especially in competitive settings.
There are concerns about the slow matchmaking process for multiplayer games, which may hinder the overall experience until a larger player base is established.
Currently, there is a lack of player progression systems, such as stats or unlockables, which may reduce long-term engagement for solo players.
