The gameplay features a mix of simple rock-paper-scissors mechanics and MOBA elements, which some players find entertaining, particularly with the inclusion of satisfying abilities like the "deathray." However, there is a consensus that the game has untapped potential, leaving players hoping for more innovative mechanics from the developers. Overall, while there are enjoyable aspects, they are not enough to create a wholly positive experience.
- “As this is a MOBA, there's untapped potential for the mechanics; I hope the developers know how to use it.”
- “Easy rock-paper-scissors gameplay mixed with almost a MOBA-like attitude.”

The game has limited replayability due to its short campaign consisting of only nine levels and the absence of multiplayer options, which leaves players with little incentive to revisit the experience.
- “My only gripe with the game is how short it is; the campaign consists of only 9 brief levels, and there is no multiplayer. Replayability is not its strong suit.”
