Gameplay is a mixed bag, with initial fun and engaging mechanics overshadowed by bugs and poor design choices that lead to frustrating inconsistencies, particularly in physics and controls. While some players appreciate the speedrunning experience and the discovery of subtle mechanics over time, others find the core gameplay lackluster and the strafe mechanic largely irrelevant. Overall, the game's potential is hampered by its technical issues and design flaws.
“The main point for me is the gameplay, it's just fun.”
“What this game does offer is an incredible speedrun experience, and the more you play, the more subtle mechanics you will find.”
“The game looks cool and plays well at the beginning, then it quickly gets ruined by bugs and bad gameplay design, unfortunately.”
“The game physics and mechanics are not as precise as the game requires you to be.”
“But the core gameplay is lackluster.”
