Gameplay is characterized by a mix of simplistic yet challenging mechanics that can be both enjoyable and frustrating. While the game offers potential for fun and experimentation, issues such as finicky controls and confusing level design detract from the overall experience. The ragdoll mechanic is noted for its difficulty but is well-executed, suggesting that with more polish and community support, the game could thrive.

Reviewers note that the graphics exhibit a stark contrast in art style, leading to perceptions of the game resembling an asset flip rather than a polished concept, particularly highlighted by the high-quality main menu.
“The suspiciously high quality of the main menu, combined with the vast difference in art style, makes this feel more like an Unreal Marketplace asset flip than a proof of concept.”
“The graphics are outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern game, making the overall experience feel unrefined.”
“Character models look bland and lifeless, which detracts from the immersion and overall enjoyment of the game.”
