3 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is generally well-received, featuring solid mechanics and unique movement dynamics that differ from traditional static movement, though some users note that hitboxes can be inconsistent. Overall, players appreciate the innovative approach and express interest in seeing similar mechanics in other games.
“The game is nice and has good mechanics, and the chainsaw is a great addition. I do think their hitboxes are a little weird, but it's a good game overall.”
“I would like to see more of the walking mechanics used here in other games. Instead of using static movement (like Gorilla Tag), it uses springy movement, which adds a unique touch.”
“The gameplay feels overly simplistic and lacks depth, making it repetitive after a short while.”
“The controls are clunky and unresponsive, which detracts from the overall experience.”
“The mechanics are poorly explained, leaving players confused about how to progress.”
