The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that are easy to understand, making it accessible for younger audiences, akin to a simplified version of "Slay the Spire." While there is depth for varied experiences in each run, the overall gameplay is limited to 10-20 minutes, leading to a lack of content and replayability. Players appreciate the imaginative elements and character diversity, but many feel the game could benefit from additional content and optimizations.
