The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitive nature, with many players feeling that it lacks depth and excitement, often comparing it unfavorably to simpler games like Flappy Bird.

Overall, the gameplay seems to cater to a niche audience that enjoys repetitive loops, but it may not satisfy those seeking more engaging and varied experiences.
