The gameplay is described as overly simplistic and lacking depth, failing to capture the excitement of retro sports games it aims to evoke. Players have noted significant glitches and a lack of clear mechanics, which detracts from the overall experience. While there is hope for future updates and additional gameplay options, the current state leaves much to be desired.
“For the longest time, I've wanted a sports game that is a simple callback to retro games instead of simulation and could smartly combine the mechanics of all or most of the sports, since they all effectively revolve around two teams competing to put some sort of object into another.”
“The gameplay is extremely simple and straightforward.”
“I can't wait to see the future updates; I really hope the team brings more gameplay options and power-ups.”
