- “Extremely buggy, and unless the guard/admin are incredibly lucky the spy/hacker have an overwhelming advantage and should never lose.”

Gameplay is generally straightforward and easy to learn, with some depth and strategic elements, especially in route and objective choices.

- “The novel idea wasn't the cause of failure, but the buggy implementation and laughably bad graphics and gameplay had a lot to do with it.”
- “The gameplay is too shallow at the moment to recommend playing.”
