The gameplay is described as fun, unique, and easy to learn, combining elements from popular games like Worms and Angry Birds with engaging gravity mechanics.

Overall, the game offers a frenetic and chaotic experience that appeals to both new and experienced players, though it feels incomplete in its current early access state.
- “It's the multiplayer gameplay of worms combined with the gravity mechanics of Angry Birds Space, and it takes about five minutes to learn how to play well.”

- “It's got many bugs, very little gameplay variation, no online support, and in general it just feels like it is way too early to be released for early access.”
