The gameplay features a unique color-based mechanic where players cannot harm or be harmed by blobs of the same color, but many users find the overall mechanics lacking and not enjoyable, suggesting insufficient testing. While the chaos mode introduces randomness that can disrupt the flow, the fresh color-swapping idea and appealing graphics do provide some attraction to the game.
“The crux of the gameplay is that you can't harm or be harmed by blobs of the same color.”
“The chaos mode seemed to be truly chaotic, as you would receive updates for your weapon or increased speed at random times, overpowering a wave or two completely before returning to the classic mode gameplay.”
“The swapping color mechanic is a fresh idea.”
“The gameplay mechanics are poor.”
“And it's not about me being a poor player; I made it to the top 10 on the global ranking, but apparently, there hasn't been much gameplay testing, because it's just not very fun this way.”

The graphics of the game have been criticized for lacking the high quality and visual impressiveness expected from a PC title, resembling more of a console game with clunky controls and outdated visuals. While some players still find the gameplay engaging, the overall graphical presentation falls short of PC gaming standards.
“The gameplay and graphics are what draw me in.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
“While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics.”
