The gameplay has been criticized for several frustrating limitations, including the inability to bind reset actions to a key, lack of replay functionality for leaderboard competition, and restrictions on input buffering at level starts. Additionally, players feel that the gameplay loop becomes repetitive quickly, although no significant bugs were reported.
- “Not being able to bind reset to a keybind is annoying, not being able to view replays is infuriating when trying to compete for leaderboard positions, not being able to buffer more than one input when starting a level is asinine, and the general gameplay loop becomes stale very quickly.”

Reviews suggest that grinding in the game can be enjoyable for those who appreciate speedgames and have some spare time, but for others, it may not be worth the effort, as missing out on it won't significantly impact the overall experience.
- “If you've got an hour or two to kill and you enjoy grinding speed games, give it a whirl if you so choose, but otherwise, trust that you're not missing out on much by not playing.”
