The gameplay is characterized by a mix of simplicity and depth, allowing players to build and manage their amusement parks through familiar mechanics like constructing paths and rides. While some users appreciate the straightforward fun and in-depth mechanics, others find certain aspects, such as the large footprint of rides, to be limiting. Overall, the gameplay offers a blend of enjoyable construction elements with some room for improvement in complexity.
“I love the look of the game, and the gameplay is simple but fun.”
“Gameplay is as usual, you have some land where you build paths, areas for rides and coasters, shops, etc. You have to research new rides, scenery, and some additional stuff such as more parking spaces, cost reductions, and so on.”
“I personally feel this has some great in-depth mechanics without all of the super micro-managing parts.”

“Hallways are just paths in our games, and the only way ride rooms impact the gameplay is by turning every ride into at least a giant 9x9 footprint.”

“Nice clean graphics.”
“Everything is coated with simple graphics featuring doll-like guest models in park management mode and proper biped models in hall design mode.”

The game's story is criticized for its lack of coherence, featuring random missions that feel disconnected, such as repetitive tasks like building multiple identical rides. Players express a desire for a more structured narrative, hoping for future updates to introduce a campaign or mission mode to enhance the experience.
“Well done, I'm looking forward to the future updates (hopefully a campaign/missions mode!)”
“You get some random missions which don't make a lot of sense (e.g. build 8 of the same ride), and beyond that, the game is mostly just waiting for more money and research points until you unlock everything, and that's where it ends.”
