  • gameplay16 mentions

    The gameplay is characterized as simple and repetitive, with only one small level and limited enemy types, leading to a lack of depth. While there are unlockable characters and music that provide some entertainment, many reviewers feel that the developers prioritized graphics and bonus content over core gameplay mechanics, resulting in a less engaging experience overall. Despite its addictive elements, such as a unique kissing mechanic, the overall gameplay experience is seen as lacking substance.

    • “Simple gameplay but with enough bonus content to keep you entertained and coming back for more.”
    • “[i]“The gameplay is super addictive...and I love the kissing mechanic!””

    • “I'm not sure when in the gaming zeitgeist unlocking hats and other nonsense took a front seat to core gameplay, but this is where 'Of Carrots and Blood' suffers - there is only one arena; only a few power-ups that aren't well thought-out; only 5 enemy types; repetitive music that sounds absolutely amazing but can only loop for so long before you go crazy.”
    • “I'm surprised I've spent as much time playing it as I have, considering there really isn't much there when you strip it all down to the core gameplay.”
