The gameplay is centered around a simple yet engaging mechanic where players control a robot ball to navigate meticulously designed levels, reminiscent of dodge'em ups. While the controls are easy to learn, mastering the game presents a significant challenge, offering depth and replayability that enhances the overall experience.
- “Our task is as a robot ball to reach the end of the route (something like Rock of Ages), and even though it's such a rather simple gameplay, it gives a lot of fun.”
- “This is a case of gameplay over everything else.”
- “You'll find all the usual factors of a great dodge'em up here, including very simple and easy-to-get-into gameplay and controls that are exceedingly hard to master, along with meticulously designed levels that are meant to push you to the edge and keep you retrying on that one seemingly impossible bit.”
- “These add way deeper mechanics than seen in any other game like this, and need to be mastered in order to perfect levels.”
