The gameplay is described as unique and innovative, featuring mechanics like time manipulation and card-based damage, which some players find fun and challenging.

“Was a bit tricky at first to use my finger to guide and play the cards smoothly without much self-damage, but after a couple of seconds, I adjusted quickly and found the gameplay simple yet challenging.”
“Fun game with the interesting mechanics of time only moving when you do and taking damage from cards (the 'bullets' from enemies) to add them to your hand and use later!”
“Fantastic game, innovative and solid mechanically, and fun and challenging.”
“It could do with further informative text on how certain mechanics work, especially the unlockable players.”

The game faces notable optimization issues, particularly when multiple projectiles are spawned, leading to temporary freezes and frequent stuttering even on decent devices. While some users suggest that older hardware may exacerbate these problems, there is a consensus that the game requires further optimization to enhance performance.
“I think my old phone has the same chip, so maybe the old phone was throttling performance or it was running it at high refresh rate mode.”
“However, I give 4 stars because the game needs a little more optimization.”
“Suffers from optimization issues, as when several projectiles are spawned, it causes the game to freeze temporarily.”
“Frequent stuttering on a decent phone and not much about the game is actually explained.”
“This game could use some optimizations.”
