Great couch co-op experience that is fun when played with friends, inducing teamwork and chaos similar to Overcooked.
The game introduces new mechanics throughout the campaign, keeping the gameplay feeling fresh despite its derivative nature.
Characters have special abilities that add nuance to the gameplay, and the colorful overworld design minimizes downtime between attempts.

The game suffers from poor controls and frustrating mechanics, including hitbox issues and confusing character positioning.
Many players experienced bugs and crashes, leading to a lack of polish and frustrating gameplay moments.
The lack of a detailed tutorial and unclear scoring system can make it difficult to understand game mechanics and achieve desired scores.

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.
- “You can expect all the chaos and hectic gameplay you know from these co-op multitasking games along with new mechanics being added throughout the campaign to keep it feeling fairly fresh.”
- “It starts off simple, but you eventually get to gameplay that mirrors Overcooked pretty well.”
- “Characters have special abilities that really help a lot and add some nuance to gameplay.”
- “I'm so f***ing mad just writing about this, but this game took the 'innocent bystander' mechanic from Overcooked too far.”
- “I can't say f*** loud enough to bring myself some level of chill about this mechanic.”
- “I have zero chill over this mechanic.”

The story in the game is largely considered unengaging and forgettable, with some players expressing a stronger interest in other elements than the narrative itself.
- “I care more about that serial number than the story in this game.”
