The graphics are described as simple yet visually appealing, complemented by nice effects and good music. However, some players experience severe motion sickness due to spinning graphics, and the challenging controls hinder accessibility, raising concerns about the overall implementation of game mechanics.
- “While having simple graphics, it looks good and has nice effects, along with really good music. On top of that, there is one dedicated developer who keeps taking community feedback and implementing it really fast.”
- “The controls are maddening (for instance, it's impossible to safely fly fast, but if you fly too slow and close, the landing gear deployment itself will push you away from your landing target) and the spinning graphics gave me severe motion sickness in a very short amount of time.”
- “I can see there are many mechanics that might interest me later on (though there are also many spelling errors and rough edges that make me wonder how well the later mechanics might be implemented), but if I can't access them because the controls are too difficult to use and the graphics make me physically ill, I'll never know.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a need for better balancing in landings and improved tutorials to clarify mechanics. While there are intriguing features, players express frustration over difficult controls and distracting graphics, which hinder their ability to fully engage with the game. Overall, the potential for enjoyable gameplay is overshadowed by these accessibility issues.
- “The landings need balancing instead of the landing gears deploying and hitting the ground. Maybe have the tutorial explain a bit better the gameplay mechanics of this game.”
