Gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging levels and frustrating mechanics, with many abilities feeling underutilized or overly tedious. Players find the requirement to constantly stun enemies and retrieve ammo cumbersome, especially without a dash mechanic, while accidental turret damage adds to the annoyance. Despite these issues, the combination of tower defense and cooperative gameplay is noted positively, and the game's performance on Linux is praised for its fluidity and low input lag.
“This game combines tower defense with Overcooked-like gameplay.”
“Frogsong Studios also did a great job in supporting Linux with a native game build utilizing the Vulkan API, which results in fluid gameplay and low input lag.”
“The levels themselves are good, but feel gimmicky because the mechanics learned never will be used again, and are mostly confined to 1 or 2 levels.”
“The mechanic of having to stun enemies and throw them into the pit gets annoying.”
“There's no dash mechanic, so going to get ammo to refill it gets more and more frustrating every time you have to slowly walk across the map to fetch ammo that will immediately be lost.”
“We keep hitting our turrets by mistake, making them stop working. It's tedious; why would you have a mechanic in which you can disable your own turrets?”

Many reviewers express that these elements detract from the enjoyment of the tower defense genre, leading to early disengagement from the game. Overall, the grinding feels like a core issue that significantly impacts gameplay.
“It's a tower defense game in which all the cool things about a tower defense game have been removed and only tedious parts remain.”
“Having to load ammunition constantly into the turrets feels very tedious.”
“We played for less than an hour and had to rage quit because it felt way too tedious and barebones.”

“The art is stunning, the little brain snail thing is really funny, and the gameplay is fun for me and my family to play on a couple of off-brand Xbox controllers late at night, and nobody gets mad!”
“Played it with a group of friends, and it's super chaotic and hilarious at the same time. We laughed quite a lot while playing it and sabotaging ourselves by throwing each other out of the map or into a group of enemies!”

Users have reported that the lack of support for VAAPI video encoding on Linux with AMD GPUs in Steam Remote Play can lead to performance and quality issues.
