    The gameplay is generally seen as lacking depth, with some mechanics feeling unnecessary and the survival mode presenting a frustrating challenge due to its one-touch mechanic and unfamiliar maps. Reviewers suggest that incorporating a jumping mechanic and more three-dimensional elements could enhance the overall experience and provide a more dynamic gameplay. There is a consensus that while the game has potential, it needs further development and variation to fully engage players.

    • “The game is fine in its ideas and mechanics; the real challenge (besides the brief challenge mode, obviously) is to finish the survival mode, but the way the game is presented doesn't show itself as an improving challenge.”
    • “There's room for the game to improve; it could give more and explore its possibilities by expanding its gameplay, maybe with bonuses and variations besides the frustration tokens.”
    • “I think if it had more use of three-dimensional elements and perhaps a jumping mechanic, it would have more dynamic gameplay.”
    • “Instead, the developer added another optional completely useless mechanic to the survival mode.”
    • “What makes the survival game mode so disappointing is that the one-touch mechanic still kills your sphere instantly, and being tossed into maps you're not familiar with makes it very easy for this to happen unexpectedly.”

    • “Music is mainly made of catchy tunes with some clean guitar, something pop and simple I'd say.”
    • “The only bad side about this is not about the kind nor the quality of the music used in the game, but the fact that each stage has the same song.”
