The gameplay is initially enjoyable but quickly reveals a lack of depth and variety, making it feel superficial after a few matches. While it offers a fun experience reminiscent of Mario Party's bumper balls, it ultimately falls short in content compared to other games available on platforms like Newgrounds.
“This game is pretty fun on the surface, but after playing for more than one or two matches, it becomes apparent that the developers didn't put much time into anything aside from surface-level gameplay, and even that struggles to be decent at best.”
“Although a very fun experience, the variety of gameplay is very lacking; quite frankly, you can find more expansive games, at least in terms of content, on Newgrounds.”
“This is similar to bumper balls from the Mario Party franchise, but from a top-down perspective with an added mechanic to boost yourself instead of just holding a direction.”

“Catchy, bouncy music.”
“This is all accompanied by a rather cute chiptune soundtrack that somewhat reminds me of Kirby.”
“The music lacks variety and quickly becomes repetitive.”
