The gameplay is noted for its departure from typical element-combining mechanics found in doodle games, but it suffers from tediousness and frustrating controls, particularly with the game misinterpreting player inputs. This raises questions about the target audience's overlap between doodle game fans and WWII enthusiasts.
“It's nice to see a doodle game that isn't about combining elements for once, but the gameplay is just as tedious. For some reason, it constantly thinks you're tapping the 'info' button for different components instead of trying to combine them.”
“I'm curious how much of a crossover there really is between fans of the doodle series and WWII mechanic enthusiasts.”
