The gameplay is a mixed bag; while it offers inventive ideas and solid core mechanics for its low price, users find the interface clunky and the experience tedious due to the need to spin a cube and search for words simultaneously. The wraparound mechanic is particularly frustrating, detracting from the overall enjoyment.

Overall, the sound design is viewed as a significant drawback.
“The music leaves a bit to be desired, but nothing that muting and putting on your own tunes can't fix.”
