The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some players expressing disappointment over the focus on an open-world and story rather than mechanics. However, there is optimism for the game's future, as early development shows promising core concepts and improved movement, alongside new powers that enhance the experience and facilitate upgrades.
- “The game is in early development and seeing a lot of the mechanics and the core concepts in place makes me hyped for the full release.”

- “The spaceship portal can be far away at times, and having to walk/run there just to upgrade your stuff can be a little tedious, especially later in the game after you have done it a lot.”
