The gameplay is noted for its departure from the typical element-combining mechanics found in other doodle games, but it suffers from tediousness and frustrating controls, as the game often misinterprets player inputs, leading to unintended actions. This raises questions about the target audience's overlap between doodle game fans and WWII mechanics 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, in this one, it constantly thinks you're tapping the 'info' button for different components instead of trying to combine them.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, with frustrations arising from the game's tendency to misinterpret taps as requests for information rather than combining elements. While the departure from typical combining mechanics is appreciated, it does not alleviate the overall grindy experience.
