The gameplay has been criticized for its slow respawn mechanics and lack of diversity, with suggestions for passive power-ups to enhance the experience. Many users find the core gameplay loop repetitive and uninspired, describing it as a generic and overly familiar design that detracts from enjoyment, despite acknowledging smooth mechanics and appealing artwork. Overall, the gameplay is perceived as lacking depth and excitement.

- “Maybe adding some passive power-ups or other things to diversify the gameplay.”
- “In terms of gameplay loop, it feels a little slow to go back to the main menu each time we die; it should be faster (you die, you click, instant respawn in the ship).”
- “Made in China vibes, the umpteenth iteration of upgrade = downgrade mechanics with incremental aggressively generic cookie-cutter balance that screams merciless copycat while the ads go 'choose wisely' and push you to beat 'your' high score.”

- “I actually want the soundtrack.”
- “On the upside, if you're rolling with its abrasive, flippant humor, happen to like the music and effects, cackle with glee at the card descriptions, and are mesmerized by the little hub, you'll find a game that sticks to its shtick with little in the way of surprise.”
