Players note that while the game has a limited number of levels, the ability to switch VR roles offers a fresh experience, contributing to its replayability.

- “Adding a level editor would seriously take this game to the next level for depth and replayability.”
- “While there aren't too many levels in the game, swapping places for who is in VR is a very different experience, so you can get some replayability out of each level.”
