The gameplay is described as highly addictive yet repetitive, with a standard runner format featuring obstacles and power-ups. While some players appreciate the nostalgic aesthetics and enjoyable soundtrack, others find the content limited and the experience can become monotonous after a short period. The developers are actively working on updates to enhance gameplay, but currently, it lacks depth and variety.
“Super addicting gameplay.”
“And, from a gameplay perspective, this is a standard and fun runner, with many obstacles and a few power-ups, but I found it especially enjoyable due to its comic factor and the Eastern European aesthetics, which perfectly recreate the 90s Romanian feel and look in a comic way.”
“The gameplay also isn't quite the usual infinite runner - it's actually more like an evasion platformer, since you can run backwards and jump onto platforms and over enemies.”
“The gameplay is very repetitive.”
“Gets repetitive and boring after 3 minutes, both the gameplay and music.”
“But as with all those games (Canabalt, etc.), there is very little actual gameplay content.”

Users express a desire for a single-player story mode that allows players to take on the role of a police officer, highlighting a lack of narrative depth in the current gameplay. The existing missions involve a main character who can recruit associates to assist in completing tasks and earning currency, but the overall story experience feels limited and somewhat expensive.
“The player should have the possibility to be the police without playing in multiplayer, and it would be great to have a dedicated story mode.”
“After running a few missions with our main character, you can spend some of your hard-earned coin to request support from his fellow ethical tax-dodging associates, who will run missions and collect coin for you.”
