The gameplay is characterized by its simple yet creative mechanics, making it enjoyable for both single-player and multiplayer experiences. Players appreciate the smooth controls and the introduction of new mechanics every few levels in single-player mode, while the cooperative aspect enhances the fun. Although some visuals could be improved, they do not detract from the overall gameplay experience.
- “I personally haven’t played online yet (I want to finish the single-player first), but the streamer I watch plays online all the time, and from what I’ve seen – even without trying all the modes – I can say this: it offers simple but creative gameplay that’s perfect for playing with friends.”

- “Same mechanics, same solutions, just over and over again.”
