Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of engaging story elements and lifestyle features that enhance the experience, but are marred by poor shooting mechanics and a frustrating training system. While the addition of varied scenes helps alleviate some repetitiveness, players find the core mechanics can become too easy and hinder emotional connections with others. Overall, the gameplay offers potential but suffers from significant flaws that detract from the overall enjoyment.
“The vibes I got from that game were immense; I was really into the story and the gameplay.”
“Lifestyle elements are a nice addition to break the cycle of gameplay.”
“The developers have been adding more 'scenes' (which is how your player's game actions take place) and more variability to those scenes, making the gameplay more engaging.”
“The shooting mechanics suck, the training system is awful.”
“Hard to use shooting mechanic, yes.”
“It feels a bit repetitive at times, but the developers have been adding more 'scenes' and variability to those scenes. Once you figure out the main mechanics and are familiar with the scoring scenes, it becomes too easy and repetitive to score.”

Overall, the current limitations in controls detract from the potential for deeper emotional connections within the gameplay.
“I understand the limitations, but it does make it more difficult for you to bond or even rival against other players emotionally, which there is gameplay for.”

The humor in the game is derived from the absurdity of the tips provided by Ailton, which are described as so nonsensical and meaningless that they become amusing. This blend of ridiculousness adds a lighthearted touch to the gameplay experience.
“You can buy tips from Ailton which also increases your stats - depending on the suggestions you bought... they are so stupid and meaningless that it's funny again.”
