Overall, the game's replayability is mixed; while some players appreciate the large mazes and varying spawn points that enhance replay value, others feel that once the game is completed, there isn't much incentive to return. The semi-random generation of certain elements adds some variety, but a complete maze regeneration feature could further improve replayability.
- “Even though the maze isn't randomly generated, the game still has huge replayability because the mazes are enormous, and you always spawn in a different section.”
- “The maze is somewhat randomly generated; the general layout stays the same, but certain objects will move, adding some replay value.”
- “At the moment, the complexity of the map gives a good amount of replay value.”
- “For the price, I actually found this game to be a nice little experience, though to be honest, the claim of replayability definitely seems inaccurate.”
- “Not much replayability, as once you’ve escaped, you’ve seen what the game offers.”
- “A button to completely regenerate the maze would aid in improving replayability.”
