Gameplay is characterized by an easy-to-learn structure that gradually introduces new mechanics, keeping the experience fresh and engaging. However, some players find the basic gameplay loop lacking, particularly at higher levels where reliance on RNG can lead to frustrating moments. Overall, while the complexity can be enjoyable, it may not feel tailored for every player.
- “Easy to pick up with a steady trickle of new mechanics to keep things fresh.”
- “It starts off easy but quickly begins to layer in new mechanics with lots of surprises along the way.”
- “I liked the complexity once all of the mechanics come together.”
- “Then level 21: attempt after attempt waiting for the RNG to line up to get both the one bonus asteroid and a bomb to line up without too much lost to friendly fire... it doesn't feel like a tailor-made experience. The basic gameplay loop isn't good enough and nothing else can save it from what I saw.”
