The gameplay is described as rough and unpolished, with some users noting it lacks functional mechanics and is janky at times. While it offers a unique take on classic gameplay elements like pong and serves the narrative well, it may not satisfy those seeking a polished experience or tight mechanics. Overall, it is moderately fun but best suited for players who appreciate story-driven content over gameplay precision.
- “Do not buy and play this game if you're looking for a super polished experience that relies on gameplay - this is a small (~2 hrs) passionate little project that focuses on narrative, touching on subjects I haven't seen in too many places and doing so rather effectively.”
- “Fun gameplay, kind of a new take on pong, which allows the story to be strung together.”
- “The gameplay itself is just a more difficult pong, but it's fun, and the game is only ~3 hrs long, but if you are into reading dialogue, and are in-tune with your own emotions, you will get a lot out of it.”
- “There are some rough edges to the gameplay.”
- “At its worst, however, the gameplay is rather janky and unpolished.”
- “In conclusion, I probably would not recommend this to someone who is looking for volleyball gameplay with tight mechanics.”
