The gameplay is characterized by a steep difficulty curve and unclear mechanics, leading to confusion and frustration for players as they struggle to grasp the game's systems. While some find it fun and addictive, others criticize the lack of clarity and the reliance on luck, particularly in later levels where the AI becomes more challenging. Overall, the gameplay experience is mixed, with potential for enjoyment but significant mechanical issues that detract from its overall quality.
- “This game really reminds me of Eufloria; it's a chilled gameplay style.”
- “Gameplay: 7/10 - fun, addictive, and very simple.”
- “Played an hour roughly so far and enjoyed it; still working out the mechanics.”
- “But you, dear reader, won't see all 50 maps; nope, you likely won't best more than a dozen stages due to the brutally scaling difficulty (i.e. the AI exploiting its absolute advantage in neutral layouts) and the fuzzy if-not-inexplicable mechanics that determine success and failure.”
- “There is another major issue with the gameplay in the sense that you can have 5 planets connecting to another planet which is occupied by the enemy and get nowhere... you can have them connected directly, or in a chain... chains don't appear to do anything further than 1 or 2 out and trees by themselves don't appear to grow past a certain value (be it in the early stages where they grow quickly or toward the end where they apparently stop growing unless consuming enemy trees), making the game a bit more confusing because you never know if you'll consume an enemy that is at a disadvantage according to human thought processes based on the entire chain connected 1 by 1 to the enemy, or x lines to the target planet, etc....”
- “While it is amusing to begin with, the mechanics are inherently weak as is shown in later levels.”

- “Graphics: 8/10 - pretty, bright, and colorful.”
- “The aesthetic is reminiscent of Eufloria (trees on asteroids), and it plays a lot like Tentacle Wars (a free flash game), both of which I loved.”
- “Graphically intuitive: drag to connect, cancel connections, rinse and repeat.”
