The gameplay is characterized by its visually appealing 2D design and unique mechanics centered around controlling a mechanical bird that can teleport. While the straightforward mechanics and minimalist approach contribute to its fun and puzzle-like nature, players have noted issues with clunky controls and repetitive gameplay that can lead to boredom over time. Overall, it offers a blend of enjoyable challenges and minor frustrations, making it suitable for casual play.
“The teleportation mechanic itself is very straightforward.”
“It's very minimalist and simplistic, which actually helps with the gameplay.”
“The soundtrack is enjoyable, the gameplay is simple and quite fun.”
“Visually attractive 2D game where you play as a mechanical homing bird, but the controls were oftentimes clunky and frustrating.”
“Anyways, it's a cute little game with pretty visuals, but it's that kind of rinse-and-repeat gameplay that requires you to die again and again until you memorize the patterns and understand how to avoid the death traps. It can get boring after a while, unless you play it occasionally.”
“That's all I can say about the gameplay really, because that's more or less all there is to it.”

The music in the game is generally well-received, with many praising its upbeat and catchy nature, particularly the level select menu song "maszynka do świerkania" by Czesław Śpiewa. While the soundtrack is enjoyable and complements the visuals, some players noted a lack of an overarching theme, as it features a mix of random tracks across levels. Overall, the music enhances the gaming experience, contributing positively to the minimalist art style.

“The one in the menu is actually a song 'Maszynka do Świerkania' by Czesław Śpiewa.”
