The gameplay is criticized for its lack of depth, as players primarily use a slingshot to find exits while facing non-threatening enemies that can be easily evaded. Despite some interesting elements, the overall experience is marred by issues like enemy spawning and a lack of engaging mechanics.
- “Overall incredible and very interesting gameplay”
- “But that is where it ends, there is no gameplay. You have a slingshot and try to find an exit, but the enemies pose no threat since you can just keep on running. Enemies spawn all over, even in the ground.”

The graphics of the game are poorly optimized, leading to sluggish performance even on high-end systems, and there are no options for resolution or graphics adjustments. This lack of customization detracts from the overall gaming experience.
- “If you try to take it seriously as a game, you'll find no resolution or graphics tweaks, no controller tweaks... it's horribly optimized and will be sluggish even on high-end rigs.”
