The gameplay features a mix of minigames and top-down arcade action, characterized by chaotic and whimsical elements, such as flying gods on a whale.

- “The gameplay is flowy and engaging, and the graphics look fresh and vibrant, you know what I'm saying?”
- “The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative-based gameplay progression, and so on.”
- “There's some minigames and top-down action/arcade type gameplay and wacky flying gods that, yes, live on a whale.”
