The game's optimization is praised for its excellent performance, allowing for smooth gameplay even with numerous objects in action, and realistic physics that enhance the sandbox experience. However, some users feel that the impact of different stats on performance could be more pronounced, as the differences between stamina and attack types are not significant enough.
“The physics feel extremely good; the tops that we create are realistic in how they rotate and break. We are talking about a great sandbox with fantastic performance. It does not lag even with a large number of tops in action, and it has a huge amount of parts, settings, and content.”
“While the stats do noticeably affect performance, I think they should impact things more. The difference between a stamina type's spin duration and an attack type's is far too similar, and likewise, attack types don't seem to move more than stamina types or move faster.”
“The optimization in this game feels lacking; the balance between different character types is off, making it hard to find a playstyle that feels rewarding.”
“I expected more from the optimization aspect. The performance differences between character types are minimal, which makes the gameplay feel unbalanced.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its lack of engaging mechanics, with controls needing significant improvement. Players report a frustrating experience characterized by minimal interaction and a fixed perspective that hampers visibility.
“The gameplay is incredibly engaging, with smooth controls that make every action feel satisfying.”
“I love the variety of gameplay mechanics; they keep each session fresh and exciting.”
“The combat system is intuitive and allows for a lot of strategic depth, making every encounter feel unique.”
“The controls and actual gameplay are the biggest areas that need improvement. There's no launching or launching styles available so far (at least from my testing). The gameplay consists mostly of watching the tops hit each other while they avoid contact, which is not far from reality, and moving from a fixed perspective that makes it very hard to see.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth, making it difficult to stay engaged for long periods.”
“I found the mechanics to be clunky and unresponsive, which detracted from the overall experience.”
