The gameplay is heavily reminiscent of Angry Birds, offering a deeper and more challenging experience, though some users criticize it as a poor imitation with pay-to-win mechanics (now removed in the Steam version). Overall, it provides around five hours of engaging play, making it a worthwhile purchase for fans of the genre, especially at a low price point.
“It's almost identical to Angry Birds in terms of gameplay, only a lot deeper and much harder.”
“All in all, it gave me 5 solid hours of gameplay, and I got it on sale for $0.49.”
“Really nothing else to say... it's a horrible Angry Birds rip-off with pay-to-win mechanics.”

The game, originally designed with microtransactions for mobile platforms, has been ported to Steam without these features, which some players appreciate as it removes the pressure to pay to progress. However, the level difficulty suggests that the game was initially intended to encourage spending, leading to frustration for players. Despite this, its low price and absence of ads or microtransactions make it a decent casual option.
“The fact that it has been designed around microtransactions really shows, as many levels are next to impossible to complete early on, reflecting a moment where you'd feel either compelled to pay money to advance or compelled to uninstall.”
“The fact that it has been designed around microtransactions really shows as many levels are next to impossible to do (like, a few minutes after starting the game from the first level), reflecting a moment where in the app you'd feel either compelled to pay money to advance, or compelled to uninstall.”
“It's a poor Angry Birds clone designed for iOS/Android that has been ported over to Steam without the microtransactions.”
