The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the fun sandbox mechanics and physics, while others criticize the repetitive nature and unrefined building mechanics. The ragdoll feature is both praised for its creativity and criticized for its limitations, particularly the frustrating respawn mechanic. Overall, while the game offers potential for creativity and fun, many feel it lacks sufficient content and polish to sustain long-term engagement.

“This game has limitless potential, ranging from community-made levels that are insane, as well as the overall gameplay variants you can do.”
“What the game lacks in outright content, it makes up for in gameplay and just sheer laugh value!”

“Needs to add story or something.”
“The game is good; however, if you are looking for games with story, campaign, or objectives, this game is not for you. Although there are minigames, they aren't really memorable compared to playing a story game.”
