Gameplay is criticized for its repetitive map design, which detracts from tactical engagement and creates a sense of aimlessness. Additionally, players find the mechanics poorly explained, with issues such as clunky movement and an inconvenient jumping system, alongside a vaulting mechanic that is only moderately effective.
- “The maps lean toward repetitive corridors that blur together faster than Brian’s metaphors, making match flow feel more like an aimless sprint than tactical gameplay.”
- “Mechanics are not explained, and there seems to be no way to actually throw the ball if you have it.”
- “Movement is extremely clunky; the jumping mechanic is highly inconvenient, and the vaulting is just decent.”

The graphics in the game are limited, offering only two modes—"player mode" and "streamer mode"—both of which perform poorly. Users express a desire for more graphical options and the ability to save settings, indicating that the current lack of customization detracts from the overall experience.
- “The game is pretty fun and has a high skill ceiling. I know it's still early, but the graphics settings should be saved so I don't have to change them every time I log in.”
- “The game can only change graphics between 'player mode' and 'streamer mode.' Both run terribly.”
- “The settings offer no graphical options, and you can't even adjust the mouse sensitivity.”
- “I know it's still early, but the two main things I'd like are for the graphics settings to be saved so I don't have to change them every time I log in.”

The game's optimization has been widely criticized, with players reporting significant frame rate drops to as low as 20-30 FPS, even in scenarios with only a few other players. Many find it surprising that such a seemingly simple game suffers from such severe performance issues.
- “However, the playing experience is ruined by the terrible optimization; I was down to 30-20 FPS with 8 other people in the game.”
- “I have no idea how such a tiny and insignificant game could be so immensely unoptimized.”
