The gameplay is characterized by a repetitive nature, often leading to frustration as players chase targets that can be quickly consumed before reaching them. While the mechanics are intuitive and movement is smooth—particularly in fever mode—the minimal animation detracts from the overall experience.

“You can spend a significant portion of a round chasing the only valid target only to have them consumed before you get there, which is part of luck-based gameplay, but can still be frustrating.”
“The gameplay is repetitive.”
