Gameplay is generally viewed as frustrating and difficult to navigate, with many users noting that it takes time to adjust to the mechanics. While the core gameplay retains elements from a simple 2D vector game from 15 years ago, the execution feels outdated and could benefit from improvements, particularly in user interface and overall ease of use. The graphics are also considered mediocre, further detracting from the overall experience.
“While the core mechanics remain the same as the simple 2D vector game from 15 years ago, there's a lot to be said for continuing the core mechanic while making the extra materials and 3D editing relatively easy.”
