Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the sharp and clicky mechanics, particularly the innovative double jump feature that allows for extended jumps. However, others find the floaty jumping and reliance on RNG mechanics frustrating, leading to a lack of skill-based challenge. Overall, the experience can vary significantly based on individual preferences.
- “As an example, you can double jump in the game - and you can 'hold' the second jump for a good amount of time, making you able to jump longer than just quickly double jumping, so this is a mechanic that is great to learn.”
- “I recorded some gameplay footage for anyone interested.”
- “I've got to be honest, I really wanted to like this, but with the floaty jumping and RNG cannon mechanic, it's frustrating without the skill element of frustration.”
