The gameplay is described as challenging and well-crafted, with impressive physics and mechanics that are nearly perfected. However, players may find the controls frustrating due to the high skill requirement, and the game currently lacks variety, featuring only a single map and limited gameplay systems. Despite these drawbacks, many reviewers encourage players to engage with the game, as its strong gameplay foundation suggests potential for future expansion.
“While I struggle to recommend tech demos, I cannot recommend this one enough as the gameplay is exemplary, so I'd encourage people to purchase this as it will enable the developers to keep expanding on it.”
“The game's physics and mechanics are amazing, the controls are well done, and playing with a controller is key.”
“While the mechanics of the game have been dialed almost to perfection, the rest of the game is still very much in its infancy.”
“With a single map and no real gameplay systems beyond the checkpointed routes.”
“That effort can be considered more than this game is worth considering the lack of different maps and/or variety in gameplay.”
