Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of frustration and enjoyment; while some players find the mechanics irritating and chaotic, leading to a sense of losing control, others appreciate the frantic pace and improvements in need management and tutorials. The game features a unique dance mechanic for passenger entertainment, but the overall experience can feel overwhelming, especially during critical moments.
- “Cute game with some fun frantic gameplay.”
- “Significant gameplay improvements and much clearer tutorials; the only thing missing was the horn on the ship, hahahaha.”
- “Also, one of the first things it tutorializes is a DDR-like dance mechanic, which is apparently used to entertain and/or distract passengers.”
- “It's got irritating gameplay that made me feel constantly out of control, one passenger's rapidly growing demand for entertainment while I'm struggling to get the thing to target the hungry passenger and not everything else nearby. The ship's rocketing by the fuel station halfway through its last bit of fuel, and I'm supposed to just let somebody starve to mess with the power system to turn something off and turn on the phone so I can dock with the refueling station after I turn around. So, of course, I do that, then leave the ship docked while I take care of a passenger's need, and, of course, the ship's thrown out of the refueling station because on the literal second level I can't have a full six seconds to breathe.”
- “Its the same in terms of gameplay, and flavorless art style.”

- “While the game attempts to create a nostalgic vibe, the soundtrack often feels out of place and doesn't match the game's energy.”
