The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and addictiveness, appealing to those who enjoy repetitive mechanics, though it lacks depth and meaningful content, particularly in comparison to its arcade origins. While some players appreciate the seamless experience and character design, the multiplayer survival mechanic has been criticized for being unexciting and poorly implemented. Overall, the game offers engaging yet simplistic gameplay that may not satisfy those seeking more complexity.

“This game is based on a real arcade machine but it's just a huge downgraded version with no content. There are supposed to be power-ups and abilities during a session, but there are none in this game. You just jump over and over without any meaningful gameplay; such a lazy work from the devs.”
“The points are there for literally no reason and the survival mechanic just makes zero sense and is honestly pretty unexciting.”
