The gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, particularly for VR players, but it suffers from a lack of content, with only three maps and three minigames available. While the asymmetric gameplay offers some variety, many mechanics are poorly explained, leaving players to figure them out on their own. Overall, the game shows promise with unique ideas but requires more levels, clearer mechanics, and improved controls to enhance the experience.
“The gameplay is legitimately fun and entertaining for everyone playing (especially the person in VR), but it's suffering from a lack of content.”
“There are only a few stages to play with, but the asymmetric gameplay adds infinite variety as PC players join in the fun on the same device.”
“More levels would be awesome, challenges, more items, additional mechanics, etc. The game is just so fun and I want more!”
“The gameplay on many stages has mechanics that are never mentioned anywhere; it's kind of just up to the players to figure out how to do stuff.”
“Game is fun, but it only has 3 minigames, so the variety in gameplay runs out very quickly.”
“Inconsistent distribution of power-ups, flaky controls, and mechanics that aren't well (or ever) explained is why this game is still in early access, and I get that.”
