The gameplay of the game is characterized by a mix of simplicity and charm, offering a fun and addictive experience for a few hours, primarily focused on resource management and building mechanics.

Overall, the game has limited replayability, with many players expressing disappointment that it lacks content and variety in the end game. While some elements, like tower and building variety, offer a slight incentive to replay, the general consensus is that once players reach a certain point, the game loses its appeal. Many users are hoping for DLC or updates to enhance replay value.
- “I guess there is some replay value, to get all the upgrades.”

- “I would love to have a DLC that offers more content and an end game with increased replayability.”
- “Worst thing is, there is zero replayability after reaching two thirds of the game.”
- “Replayability isn't there, and the game hasn't got any real updates since 2 days after its launch.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent crashes, graphical glitches, and FPS drops, particularly after the 100th wave when enemy numbers increase.

- “Super super buggy; crashed constantly. Don't buy until bug fixes.”

optimization

The game's optimization is notably poor, particularly in endless mode, leading to frequent stuttering and crashes after day 150. This is attributed to a wave difficulty design that relies heavily on increasing enemy quantity rather than diversifying their attributes.
- “Unfortunately, the game is poorly optimized for endless mode (unlocked after beating day 100) and crashes constantly after about day 150 due to the wave difficulty design which scales with enemy quantity rather than variety, damage, or health.”
- “I faced a lot of periodic stuttering.”
