The gameplay is described as mechanically challenging, requiring players to have a good tolerance for frustration. While the mechanics appear simple initially, they involve subtle complexities, such as using the character's connection to the ground to swing and alter 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!”
“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.”
