The gameplay is characterized by an addictive core mechanic of gobbling and spitting, reminiscent of Kirby and Katamari, which provides satisfying interactions and a fun experience, especially for younger players. While the mechanics are simple and enjoyable, they lack depth, potentially limiting the game's longevity and challenge.
