The gameplay is described as classic and simple, appealing to those who enjoy 90s arcade aesthetics, though some may find it too basic. It features incremental elements and challenges from robots and machines that introduce various debuffs, adding depth to the experience. Overall, while it has its flaws, it is considered a worthwhile game to explore, especially for fans of the genre.
- “So it's got classic gameplay, but is also secretly and maybe accidentally one of the better incremental/idle games available.”
- “Maybe too basic for some people - has a 90s arcade look - but I liked it, simple gameplay with just the mouse.”
- “There are robots and other machines that are persistently trying to do things that add challenge to your gameplay, such as dropping bombs or poison debuffs that roll down the bricks and towards your paddle, which could do anything from shrinking the paddle, slowing the paddle, or even destroying your paddle.”
- “Gameplay: 4.5/10”
- “There are only two changes I would make to gameplay other than checking the hitbox of the paddle.”
- “I find myself launching the ball too early or too late and completely forgetting about that mechanic until I have already guttered my ball.”
