- The rollback netcode works exceptionally well, providing a smooth online multiplayer experience with no noticeable lag or input issues.
- It captures the essence of classic puzzle games like Tetris Attack and Panel de Pon, making it a nostalgic experience for fans of the genre.
- The game has been abandoned for over two years, with no significant updates or single-player content beyond a basic training mode.
- Online matchmaking is virtually non-existent due to a lack of players, making it difficult to find matches unless you have friends to play with.
- The initial requirement to create an account and confirm via email before playing is seen as an unnecessary chore, detracting from the user experience.
