The gameplay is characterized by a mix of smooth mechanics and interesting concepts, such as the smash percentage mechanic, though some players find it repetitive and simplistic. While the game offers enjoyable and addictive elements, it can also be challenging and RNG-reliant, requiring skill to fully utilize its mechanics. Overall, it is recommended for those who appreciate rogue-like elements and are willing to invest time in mastering the controls.
“Great game with ultra buttery smooth gameplay!”
“Interesting idea of the usage of the smash percentage mechanic and that of being thrown away.”
“Even so, it is addictive, with interesting mechanics and as you go up there is a lot of abilities to build your playstyle.”
“Boring game with bare bones gameplay.”
“While the mechanics are simple to understand, it is not an easy game.”
“The game can also be very RNG-reliant on a good run; yes, this game takes a lot of skill and being able to utilize the mechanics will get you far.”

The music consists of a single looping track that, while enjoyable, lacks variety and seamlessness, leading to potential frustration during gameplay. Players appreciate the quality of the fight song but desire a longer version or a more polished looping experience.
“The fight song is a real banger, but it could benefit from a better seamless endless loop or a longer version.”
“The music is just one track on a loop, and half the time you don't even know if your hits will connect or not since the hitboxes don't seem to align with the models.”
“The only negative for me is that while the fight song is a real banger, it should be a better (seamless) endless loop or a longer version.”
