The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating the nostalgic elements and new mechanics like "poc" and varied attacks, while others criticize issues such as mouse lag and overall value for the price. While it may offer a fun experience during a sale, many feel it falls short of its potential and recommend caution before purchasing.
“I love that you have a new mechanic called 'poc', and different types of attacks that are possible with the 'poc'.”
“100% not worth it for the gameplay/price on its own, but if you pick it up on sale, it's a neat bit of classic flash game nostalgia to have in your Steam library.”
