Gameplay is simple to learn but offers depth and competitiveness, making it ideal for parties, casual play, and skillful competition.
The sound design, music, and overall energy enhance the experience, creating a highly enjoyable atmosphere for players of all ages.

The game currently has major performance and compatibility issues on the Steam Deck, including not launching and intermittent stuttering.
