The story mode is generally enjoyable with an intriguing premise and fun gameplay, but it currently suffers from numerous bugs, clunky controls, and limited content, making progression and difficulty balancing challenging. Players appreciate the customization and potential for growth, but desire more polish, difficulty settings, and expanded story content in future updates.
- “The story mode has been entertaining and I haven't run into any other glitches.”
- “The story is amazing as well.”
- “But to sum it up, the game has good potential, as it's just the beginning of a great story game.”
- “When fighting in story mode, oftentimes the shown value of the goons' fighting stats will be swapped with the other fighter.”
- “Got through the first part of the story just fine, but hit so many bugs during the second part.”
- “And even though it is a new game and in early access, I am very disappointed that for a $20 game your early access only has 2 stages of the story.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun, simple, and arcade-style experience that captures the casual, humorous spirit of the game, with responsive movement and nuanced aiming mechanics. However, some players find certain design choices unclear, controls clunky or unpolished, and limited control over teammates frustrating. Overall, it offers an enjoyable and accessible gameplay loop, especially in multiplayer, with promising improvements expected in future updates.
- “The arcade-style gameplay is excellent and perfectly captures the spirit of the show, including the characters, crude humor, and overall vibe.”
- “The movement controls feel balanced and responsive (very impressive to be as such and still capture the feel of being on ice), the aiming mechanic is quite nuanced, rewarding you for smart decisions in timing and precision, and the fighting mechanics are hilarious.”
- “The gameplay loop is so fun, simple and nuanced at the same time.”
- “There seems to be no or minimal control over which teammate you pass the puck to, whether you're the goalie moving the puck or during normal gameplay.”
- “While for some what they do is obvious, for others [like hockey IQ/puck IQ] I have no idea what they're meant to do or what they do mechanically.”
- “The idea of combining hockey with character and gear progression is fun but it's not very clear from the amount I've played how much stats impact the gameplay.”
stability

The game currently suffers from several stability issues, including a non-functional quit option that freezes the game and occasional glitches like players teleporting and incorrect mid-period scores. While the story mode remains enjoyable, overall bug fixing is needed to improve smoothness and reliability.
- “The quit option on the main menu does not actually close the game, it just freezes it.”
- “It's just too buggy at the moment.”
- “Needs some bug fixing on glitches; your players will occasionally just be on the ground across the ice from where they were, mid period scores often show wrong numbers, and controls are a bit clunky.”

- “Really enjoying this game so far, and its charming aesthetic.”
- “Art style is very cool.”
- “Stylized mechanics and "cell-shaded-esque" aesthetics make it feel like a modern yet oldskool arcade-y sports game.”
- “I get what you were going for aesthetically but good lord it is just annoying, especially with the third area being a literal ice maze that is just not good to drive around.”
