The gameplay is a unique blend of body inflation mechanics and 2D minigolf/billiards elements, offering a fun and challenging experience that may not appeal to everyone due to its niche themes. Players can enjoy a satisfying gameplay loop that incorporates new mechanics and level mastery, making it engaging despite its unconventional features.
“It's definitely not for everyone, considering the body inflation mechanics and the multitude of furry character skins, but even if you ignore those elements, it's a unique, fun, and challenging experience.”
“The body inflation is not simply a kinky addition, but also acts as a mechanic often required to progress through each level, as the bigger your character is, the more powerful their ability to smash through walls or deflate larger NPCs becomes.”
“Even without the furry fetish material, the game is a very fun experience for those wanting to try a different spin on 2D minigolf/billiards style gameplay.”
“A good loop and the game does well in mixing things up with new gameplay elements, and mastering levels can be quite challenging and engaging.”
