- “Feel like it needs more updates, and please get rid of hot potato mechanics.”

- “This video graphic game was forced upon me without my consent... nonetheless I still played it with the cruel and sadistic person who forced this game upon me then I later found out that this game is a mindless button mashing brain rotting game and no sane person would willingly get and play this game without wanting to scoop your eyeballs out with an ice cream scooper.”
- “The characters all feel unique and are fun, the controls are smooth, and the game even runs well on a potato PC, though the graphics are very pixelated.”

User feedback on optimization is mixed: many report severe performance issues such as single-core usage, stuttering, high ping, and bugs even on high-end PCs, indicating poor optimization. However, some praise the game for its smooth gameplay, low system requirements, and good performance on low-end devices, especially considering its early access status. Overall, optimization needs significant improvement to enhance stability and multiplayer experience.
- “One of the most impressive aspects of bapbap is its insane performance.”
- “The game is beautifully stylized and gorgeous to look at while being very optimized for low end devices.”
- “Best free-to-play roguelike in 2025, best optimization, nice graphics, gameplay is smooth, nice room matchmaking system. However, server choice is important; adding regular matchmaking and server selection would improve it further.”
- “Fun game, but after about 30 minutes the game only runs on a single CPU core, killing performance (at least for me).”
- “The game stutters yet somehow only requires 1GB of RAM according to the devs. It's just all around very badly optimized and badly made. The only redeeming factor is the actual gameplay if you can get past all the lag, freezing, and stutter even though you're on an $800 computer.”
- “Last but not least they have the audacity to leave this game in the terrible optimization it is, then continue with blog posts asking people to check out their new projects since they refuse to continue to support this one.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its quality and contribution to the overall vibe and sound design.

The game offers strong replayability through diverse characters, builds, random upgrades, and varying maps, making each match feel unique and engaging, especially in multiplayer. However, some players note that limited move customization, bugs, and the lack of competitive features or customizable options slightly hinder long-term appeal. Suggestions like custom maps, more personalization, and rank modes could further enhance replay value.
- “The random upgrades each round/game gives a lot of replayability with friends.”
- “Each match feels very different and has loads of replayability with the different ability kits, cards/augments, map layouts, and environmental mechanics to play around.”
- “It is incredibly replayable with so many characters and builds you can create with augments.”

- “Only thing that is my gripe about this game is that playing the moveset can become very boring until you get to use it in a very funny way. Also, the red zone can be annoying at times and would offer better replayability if it could be turned off in lobby options.”
- “Otherwise strong early access content and replayability, but lacking features that would enhance long-term engagement.”
