gameplay5 positive mentions

music3 negative mentions

Simple yet highly addictive gameplay with an extremely high skill ceiling, offering endless challenge and depth.
Runs great on almost any hardware, including low-end PCs and Steam Deck, with very small installation size.
Active and welcoming community with various multiplayer game modes and customization, making it enjoyable with friends.

Multiplayer player base is quite small or dead at times, making it difficult to find active servers or matches.
Outdated graphics and user interface, which can feel clunky and confusing especially for new players.
Local multiplayer and controller support can be problematic or limited, and the game lacks music and polish.
