The gameplay is described as mechanically challenging, requiring players to have a good tolerance for frustration. While the mechanics appear simple initially, they reveal subtle complexities, particularly with the character's ability to swing and alter trajectory using a chain connection to the ground.
“The mechanics seem simple at first but have some subtleties: as the player character is connected to the ground through the chain of turds, it can be used to swing around and change trajectory in unexpected ways.”
“If you’re looking for a mechanically challenging game and you have good frustration resistance, then I’d recommend this game for you!”
