The gameplay is highly engaging and offers a unique blend of single-player and asynchronous multiplayer mechanics, though the latter may feel passive at times. The stylized graphics and impressive music enhance the overall experience, while the game's potential for streaming appeal is tempered by a steep entry threshold and some underdeveloped multiplayer features. Despite initial confusion with the color scheme, players find the gameplay solid and rewarding, with a mix of fun and frustration.
- “The gameplay is addicting, the graphics are very nicely stylized, the music is amazing, and altogether this game is a blast.”
- “Interesting async versus multiplayer, feels quite fresh; I can't remember a game with such mechanics.”
- “Though I am not sure about the multiplayer component yet - playing ghost is just too passive, but it has potential. The game is in early access anyway - I already spent considerable hours in the singleplayer and map editor, and the gameplay is pretty solid (and getting all the achievements takes some time and skill).”
- “All living creatures that are on the map, including the player, are the same (white-blue) color, which is a little confusing at first when you don’t know the rules and upcoming mechanics.”
- “The game has the potential to attract the attention of streamers, if not for the entry threshold and some undeveloped details of the multiplayer mechanics.”

Users find the story aspect of the game lacking, expressing a desire for a dedicated "story mode" that offers a structured progression through levels, rather than the more casual "arcade mode."

- “The character development throughout the story kept me engaged and invested in the outcome.”
