The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it frustrating due to poor controls, delays, and a lack of clarity in mechanics, which can lead to accidental crashes and repetitive experiences. However, some users appreciate the simplicity and addictive nature of the gameplay, noting that it becomes enjoyable once the mechanics are understood, and they commend the game's music and visual style. Overall, while the game offers a unique challenge, its execution leaves much to be desired, particularly in terms of controller support and movement fluidity.

- “The gameplay is annoying; the disk has a delay for turning it, it slides and sometimes makes you crash accidentally. It gets stuck in the walls when it touches them and totally stops whenever it reaches your mouse's arrow, only moving again when you move the arrow somewhere else.”
- “Horrendous controls, terrible movement gameplay, and no strafing either!”
- “The core gameplay is not very fun, and the game is a chore.”
