The gameplay involves connecting nodes on a map to facilitate packet travel, offering a simple yet entertaining experience with a synthwave aesthetic. However, players have noted issues such as a large user interface that obstructs gameplay and a lack of clear explanations for gameplay mechanics. While some find it relaxing, many recommend waiting for a price drop or additional content before purchasing.
