The gameplay of this mobile ported physics puzzle game is heavily criticized for its simplicity and repetitiveness, often compared unfavorably to "Angry Birds." While it features some interesting mechanics like moving obstacles and boss fights, many players find the overall experience tedious and lacking in depth, with numerous bugs and poor level design detracting from enjoyment. Despite its casual appeal, the game fails to deliver a satisfying challenge or engaging gameplay, leaving it feeling more like a low-quality mobile app than a polished PC title.
- “Gameplay-wise, it's very simplistic, pick up and play.”
- “The mechanics are simple and solid, and you can simply skip levels if you can't get past them.”
- “Gameplay is simple but with a ton of levels (140) and the 'puzzles' getting progressively harder, you will soon start scratching your head a little for those perfect scores.”
- “Apart from the very lame mobile-tier gameplay (yawn), once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to screw over PC gamers.”
- “It's riddled with questionable game design choices, graphical glitches, and gameplay bugs, making the overall experience playing it lacking at best.”
- “The physics are... questionable at best, the story is sub-moronic, and the gameplay is repetitive and poorly thought-out.”

The game's stability is notably poor, with numerous bugs and glitches affecting gameplay, particularly during critical moments like boss battles.

- “It's riddled with questionable game design choices, graphical glitches, and gameplay bugs, making the overall experience playing it lacking at best.”
- “In regards to the graphical glitches and bugs, you'll sometimes think you're aiming one way at a certain acceleration, but once you let your badger fly, he'll go in a completely different direction or at a different speed.”
grinding
5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and lacking in enjoyment, particularly when it involves repetitive trial and error to achieve optimal results. While some mechanics are decent, the process often devolves into mindless memorization rather than strategic gameplay, with lengthy tutorials and cutscenes adding to the frustration.
- “Tedious, not very fun.”
- “When levels aren't stupifyingly simple (aim at the nearest star at max power and instantly win with 3 stars), it's mindlessly tedious. You know what to do to win, but trying to find the perfect sweet spot to get 3 stars on the first try takes no thought or strategy and is mostly just memorizing your last move and using trial and error at its most pointless.”
- “It's a decent mechanic, I suppose, but once you see how to solve a level, it becomes a tedious process of guessing just which angle and how much force you need to launch yourself with.”
