The gameplay is described as simple yet addictive, featuring a solid core loop and engaging mechanics, though it suffers from a lack of variety in enemies and some technical issues like crashes and menu navigation problems. Players appreciate the fun interactions with the environment and the unique dodge mechanic, but some find it challenging due to difficulty spikes and the absence of certain defensive tools. Overall, the gameplay is enjoyable but could benefit from improvements in variety and stability.
