Gameplay is described as both fun and stressful, with a steep difficulty curve that can lead to frustration and frequent rage quits. Players feel overwhelmed by the sudden shift to multitasking multiple tasks after mastering the basic mechanics, making completion feel nearly impossible.
- “The gameplay is fun and stressful, but it can feel impossible to complete. I often rage quit because the difficulty doesn't build up well. Once you learn the basic mechanics, you're thrown into multitasking four things at once.”
