The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players praising its simple yet addictive mechanics that are easy to learn but hard to master, while others criticize it for being unfair and lacking proper tutorials, leading to frustrating experiences. Many users noted that the rhythm elements are overshadowed by reaction-time challenges, and there are calls for improvements in gameplay features and balance. Overall, while the game has potential and charm, significant reworking is needed to enhance the gameplay experience.
- “It is one of my favorite games ever because it has my sense of humor and extremely addicting gameplay.”
- “The game has a very simple, but amazing mechanic and learning curve.”
- “You only use one input, which can be the spacebar, a key, or left/right mouse clicks, making the gameplay easy to understand yet very hard to master.”
- “I love the humor, I enjoy the music, and even the pixelated style, but the gameplay is absolutely miserable.”
- “The game has a great concept, however, it fails in providing fair gameplay for several reasons.”
- “At the start of the game, everything is cool and chill, however, your tutorials only show how fish behave. You don't actually let players practice, which is a bad aspect of the gameplay. Throwing players into a bunch of those types of fish without prior practice is just unfair and unpleasant, especially when you get to the part with the fast fish that take two beats to stop. At a high tempo, you cannot keep up with all those fish; we need a longer cue.”
