  • music
    211 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the catchy 8-bit tracks and upbeat soundscapes that enhance the gameplay experience. However, some users find the music repetitive and annoying, particularly due to a limited selection of tracks that can become tiresome over extended play sessions. Overall, while the soundtrack is often highlighted as a strong point, there are calls for more variety and options to adjust the volume or mute it entirely.

    • “The music is great and not too repetitive.”
    • “I will say this, the soundtrack is awesome.”
    • “Simply the worst music/sounds I have heard in any game - that will make your ears bleed.”
    • “Gets boring after an hour of the same music.”
    • “The music is annoying as hell.”
  • gameplay
    148 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is a blend of familiar mechanics with some innovative twists, making it engaging yet occasionally repetitive, especially due to its reliance on a single core mechanic. While many players appreciate the fun and strategic elements, concerns about pay-to-win features and balance issues detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the game offers a variety of modes and customization options that can appeal to fans of the genre.

    • “Gameplay-wise, it has this mix of familiar elements and small twists that keep things from feeling stale.”
    • “If you’re looking for something that balances comfort with challenge, familiar mechanics with fresh touches, and a world that’s just fun to be in, then I genuinely think this one is worth giving a shot.”
    • “The overall gameplay and way the game is constructed always seems to surprise me.”
    • “But it lacks any real replayability - there's only one mechanic which gets a bit old quite fast.”
    • “The controls are clunky and some of the changes to the gameplay make it slow and less action-oriented.”
    • “The game is repetitive and boring, the game mechanics and controls react way too slowly, and the community is, well, toxic.”
  • monetization
    68 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players criticizing the prevalence of microtransactions that create a "pay-to-win" environment. Users express frustration over intrusive pop-up ads that disrupt gameplay and the overall perception of the game as a cash grab, leading to a diminished player base and enjoyment. While some players appreciate the option to earn in-game currency, the general consensus is that the monetization strategy detracts significantly from the gaming experience.

    • “I don't make any in-game purchases and I still manage to get on the leaderboard every game.”
    • “You can earn coins during a match if you find plenty of them, so you don't have to buy microtransactions to get the skin you want.”
    • “The best bit is that it's not riddled with microtransactions to the point your bank balance ends up in the red after 5 seconds, isn't pay to play or pay to win!”
    • “A quick cash grab that sent the game in a downward spiral; people who play now have nothing else better to do, and that's the sad part.”
    • “Microtransactions are everywhere, giving everything a bad taste knowing the developers are just greedy plagiarists.”
    • “Blatant cash grab, complete rip-off of Agar.”
  • graphics
    65 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the graphics are generally seen as a strong point, contributing positively to the game's appeal despite some technical issues.

    • “Every part of the game — the visuals, the sound, the pacing — kind of blends into this feeling that you’re actually inside its world, even if you’re just casually playing.”
    • “Beautiful graphics, gameplay, and soundtrack.”
    • “Graphics: clean and simple, fit the tone of the game well.”

    • “Ugly, half-assed graphics/visuals and UI.”

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “However, over time, when you are quite good (not bragging or anything, but I was top 10 I believe for a season and was mostly in the top 50, in Australia mind you, think top 100 in the world when I was really grinding), it gets boring as there is minimal challenge.”

  • optimization
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While the unique concept and potential of the game are praised, the frequent glitches and lack of updates detract from the overall experience, leaving players frustrated and unable to fully engage with the game.

    • “Not only is this game buggy, laggy, and full of paywalls; it's not enjoyable to play.”
    • “It's been a long time since I could join the game. I don't know why it just freezes on the loading screen; it's not even telling me if the problem is with my internet. By the way, I loved this game, so sad I can't play again.”
