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.
“Mechanics are intuitive and movement is smooth and enjoyable, especially in fever mode.”
“The gameplay is repetitive.”
“You can spend a significant portion of a round chasing the only valid target only to have them consumed before you get there (which I'm aware is part of luck-based gameplay, but is still frustrating). The animation is minimal.”

The music in the game is described as fun and lively, enhancing the gameplay experience, especially during high combo moments when players enter fever mode, creating an exhilarating sense of excitement.
“When you get a high enough combo and you go into fever mode, and the music picks up, I feel that dopamine getting injected into my mind.”

The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd and darkly comedic premise, where gacha characters engage in cannibalism to enhance their abilities and statistics. This quirky approach adds a layer of irony and silliness, making the gameplay experience both entertaining and bizarre.
“A goofy little game about how gacha characters commit cannibalism to gain strength and increase the funny arbitrary statistics on their character sheets to make them more useful to you.”

The game offers significant replayability due to its random map generation and the challenging nature of achieving an S grade, which keeps players coming back for more attempts.
“It has a fair bit of replay value since the map is somewhat random and the S grade for a run is nearly impossible to get.”
