The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitive levels and lack of engaging mechanics, making it feel tedious rather than addictive. Players find it difficult to enjoy the experience as a high-score chaser due to the lengthy completion times and uninspired design.
“The levels are just too samey and it takes too long to beat to try 1cc it, and the mechanics are just not fun enough for it to be a high-score chaser.”
“I really hoped that it would be my new neo-arcade obsession like Annalynn was, but the gameplay just isn't there.”
