Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be enjoyable in most levels, with 15 out of 16 levels being fun. However, the factory level is criticized for its tediousness, requiring repetitive dexterity and suffering from a cumbersome UI that hinders aiming, though the absence of game overs is a noted positive.
- “15 of the levels are plain fun, while 1, the factory, is as tedious as it promises to be the moment you see it. Extended sequences of pure dexterity, repeatedly, with the UI getting in the way of your aiming. At least, you can't die and get a game over in this opus.”
