The gameplay features a well-structured story mode that introduces new mechanics through humorous narration, enhancing player engagement. However, the challenge levels lack adequate introduction, which may leave players confused about certain mechanics if they haven't encountered them in the story mode.

“The mechanics are intuitive and allow for a smooth learning curve, making it easy to pick up and play.”
“The story mode gives a nice introduction with a funny narration (poor Dave) that presents you with each new mechanic as you go along.”
“Little note here: in the video, there was no further introduction to the challenge levels, which could lead to you not knowing what to do if the game mechanic in question did not come up in the story yet.”
