Gameplay is criticized for being slow and easily exploitable, with mechanics like wind not significantly impacting the experience. Many players feel that item combinations are poorly balanced, allowing for full clears too early in the game. While some appreciate the innovative mechanics and art style, the overall gameplay loop lacks depth and challenge.
- “I liked the cool new mechanics like wind and pre-battle settings.”
- “Lovely art and gameplay feeling.”
- “The original mechanics, like wind, don't seem to have much effect.”
- “Maybe it adds more at full release, but the gameplay loop feels easy to break. The gameplay, as most reviews say, is very slow, and the wind mechanic doesn't feel like it adds anything but +/- % movement. The item combos aren't tuned, so one can achieve a full clear within the first few loops. Why am I able to clear on my third or fourth loop? That's an item tuning problem, not a mechanic one in my opinion.”
- “It feels like a slightly faster ship might improve the gameplay, but I can't be sure until I see it.”
