The gameplay is described as fast-paced and action-packed, featuring innovative mechanics like gravity, tethering, and goal shields that enhance the classic premise.

Overall, it offers a fresh take on traditional mechanics, making it engaging and dynamic.
- “The built-in tutorial is very carefully designed so that anyone who picks up the game for the first time can understand its base mechanics easily.”
- “Don't let the simplicity fool you; this game packs a punch with its fast-paced, action-packed, and 'wow' inducing gameplay.”
- “Mechanics like gravity, tethering, and goal shields add completely new layers to a game that's easy for anyone to pick up.”
- “The cost of the game is not at all in line with the amount of gameplay or features available, especially if you only play it for a few minutes like I have.”
- “There have been several renditions over the years to that now archaic game, and though this one doesn't have the same mechanics, it still works on that general premise.”

The game's graphics are described as minimalist and unappealing, with some users finding them to be an eyesore, especially when compared to other titles like Rocket League that offer superior 3D visuals. However, there is also praise for the level of polish and visual feedback, indicating a certain level of quality despite the simplistic design.
- “It's very unassuming graphics with an incredible level of polish and visual feedback/crunchiness.”
- “While the game plays smoothly, there's no single player mode, the game requires console controllers, and the minimalist graphics are an eyesore.”
- “The developers want $14.50 for this, which is roughly the same price as you can get Rocket League, a real game with proper 3D graphics and a huge multiplayer scene, so this whole thing is a bit of a joke and impossible to recommend.”
