The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it frustrating due to control issues, delays, and a lack of clarity in mechanics, while others appreciate the simplicity and addictive nature of the game. New mechanics are introduced periodically, which helps maintain interest, but the overall experience can feel repetitive and challenging, especially for those unfamiliar with the intended controls. Despite these criticisms, the game's music and vibrant visuals have been highlighted as positive aspects that enhance the gameplay experience.

“Addictive gameplay will keep you coming back for more, plus the difficulty level increases slowly as you go, so that it does not become too complicated too quickly.”
“I love the music, the gameplay is fun too... worth every penny.”
“The gameplay is annoying; the disk has a delay for turning, 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.”
