The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some users finding it visually appealing and enjoyable, while others criticize the airplane mode for its slow and clunky rolling mechanics, which lack precise control. Overall, the core mechanics are considered fun, but the game could benefit from additional refinements.
- “It's easy on the eyes and not too distracting from the gameplay itself.”
- “The game is still missing some finishing touches but the core mechanic is there, and it's fun!”
- “Good gameplay feels satisfying.”
- “However, once you try to play in airplane mode, it all breaks down. Rolling is super slow and clunky; you basically have no control over your roll. You just hold the button and it slowly rolls left or right. This kind of gameplay needs analogue control for rolling.”
