The game suffers from balance issues, heavily favoring the PC player, which can lead to frustration for the VR player.
Limited content with only one hero, one boss, and one stage, leading to quick repetition and boredom.

The gameplay offers around 10 minutes of fun for each couple, but it lacks depth in mechanics, particularly during boss encounters. Players suggest the addition of varied boss styles, hero classes, and destructible environments to enhance the experience. Overall, while the mechanics are solid and entertaining in a multiplayer setting, there is room for improvement to increase complexity and replayability.
“Mechanics are solid, graphics decent, and the entertainment value of playing against a friend is high.”
“Especially boss mechanics like being able to destroy parts of the arena (a limited amount of it) and other stuff.”
“In our half hour, we didn't manage to abuse any mechanics to the point where it seemed unfair.”
“There's about 10 minutes of gameplay here, per couple playing.”
“It is fun, but lacking mechanics, especially on the boss.”
“More boss style mechanics like stages (like getting access to more abilities later), a few different kinds of bosses, and a few classes for the hero (tanky for example that can't be picked up, less jumps, etc. a speedy boy like the one in the game, a less speedy but low damage using the mines as primary damage, etc).”
