The gameplay is characterized by chaotic and hectic co-op multitasking, reminiscent of Overcooked, with a gradual increase in complexity as new mechanics are introduced throughout the campaign. While characters possess unique abilities that enhance the experience, some players express frustration with certain mechanics, particularly the "innocent bystander" feature, which they feel detracts from the overall enjoyment.
