The gameplay is designed to accommodate players of varying skill levels, allowing inexperienced players to enjoy the game at their own pace, unlike many competitive local multiplayer games. However, the lack of customizable controls can lead to glitches, particularly for those without an n-key rollover keyboard. The nostalgic 2D shoot-em-up mechanics evoke classic games like Joust, Minecraft, and Smash Bros.
“The pace of gameplay depends on the players, so inexperienced players can enjoy this game at their own pace, unlike other local sofa battle games which are focused on experienced, quick-reacting players (e.g. Move or Die or Treadnauts).”
“The 2D shoot-em-up gameplay mechanics are nostalgic, reminiscent of Joust, Minecraft, and Smash Bros.”
“Unless you have an n-key rollover keyboard, the lack of customizable controls makes gameplay extremely glitchy.”

Overall, the game's stability is hindered by minor glitches, such as getting stuck in certain levels and keyboard issues that affect gameplay. While these problems are not entirely the developer's fault, the lack of customizable controls exacerbates the situation, leading to a frustrating experience for players. Many users rate the stability around a 5/10 due to these concerns.
“The main thing bugging me right now is the keyboard - although the developer is not to blame for keyboard glitches, he could certainly help immensely by investing an hour or two to create customizable controls. I simply do not get why the dev does not make the controls customizable.”
“I would give it a 5/10 in its current state, as glitches make it nigh unplayable with almost every keyboard.”
“It would be nice if there was a way to turn the music off, and there are a few small glitches (like a few levels where if you jump too high, you'll get stuck until someone kills you), but outside of these minor setbacks, it is a solid game.”
