The gameplay is a mix of engaging mechanics that allow players to take over bodies and execute slow-motion attacks, reminiscent of titles like Superhot. However, some users find the initial levels to be a grind and express a desire for more depth beyond the core mechanics, as the experience can feel limited once all levels are completed. Overall, the game is described as fun and addictive, with several hours of interesting gameplay available, especially when played with time limits.
“Several hours of interesting gameplay or more if played with time limit enabled.”
“This game is fun, addictive, thrilling, and has excellent mechanics!”
“Reminds me of Superhot in some ways (scenes to be solved), but with its unique mechanics.”
“I expected the first ones to be easy to help you understand the mechanics, but it's just a grind.”
“I would personally ditch the gear twist mechanic for the menu.”
“It's pretty neat, but it's limited gameplay: take over bodies and shoot enemies, punch them in slow motion, whip around characters, and throw them to watch them fly in slow motion. But once you beat all the levels, that's it.”
