The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and repetitiveness, drawing comparisons to titles like Angry Birds, which may appeal to casual players but can become monotonous over time. While the level design and mechanics are introduced gradually and offer some challenge, many players find the lack of depth and control limits the overall experience. The game's beautiful visuals and music are praised, but they are often seen as overshadowing the gameplay itself, which may not hold players' interest for extended sessions.
“The level design tends to be pretty good, the only really hard stuff to hit being the stars, but many of the targets involve an interesting use of the mechanics given.”
“There's a boost in the direction you're moving, a set-angle boost, a move to turn into a ball, and a grapple mechanic, given to the player piece-by-piece over the course of the four worlds.”
“For gameplay, it's a solid physics-based game that shares most of its similarity with Angry Birds; the challenge is present in the very first stage, once you get used to your new existence as a Metroid-esque jellyfish creature.”
“While I appreciated the presentation and music, I just can't get into the gameplay enough to recommend this to anyone, unless you really happen to like Angry Birds.”
“All in all, the game is a nice distraction for a bit, but the same mechanics and simplicity of play, along with a lack of control, start to get old.”
“In conclusion, this game is great in short bursts, though when you stay and play, you will get tired because of its repetitive and limited gameplay.”
