The gameplay is considered promising with solid base mechanics, but it suffers from bugs typical of early access titles. Users have noted that the disc mechanics, particularly how discs interact with obstacles, require significant improvement, and while updates have been made, further stability enhancements are needed for a better experience.
“Mechanics are fun, but the game definitely needs some stability updates.”
“I think this game could be good if a little more effort was put into the disc mechanics; the way discs ricochet off trees and other obstacles needs a massive overhaul. Other than that, it isn't bad.”
“I've played quite a few rounds in the game by this point and have seen 2 big updates to the throwing mechanics since purchasing the game in May 2024.”
“This game shows a ton of promise; it's definitely an early access game at the moment with all the bugs that come with that, but I think the base mechanics are really solid.”
