The gameplay is characterized by its beautiful presentation and frantic, skill-based action reminiscent of classic titles like NBA Jam, offering simple yet deep mechanics that keep the experience engaging. However, the lack of teammate switching options, absence of in-game settings, and limited customization options detract from the overall experience. Despite these shortcomings, many players find the gameplay enjoyable, especially for its low cost.
“Gameplay's beautiful.”
“Fun gameplay for a low cost.”
“Frantic skill-based gameplay, with a bit of jank and tech for good measure.”
“This game would be almost amazing if it weren't for the teammate switching mechanic.”
“There's also no settings in-game, so you have to control sound via Windows, and there's no option for rebinding or fine-tuning any mechanics.”
“I took 5 goals against the CPU without being able to pass the midfield, without ever understanding what the gameplay was (if there is one).”

The story mode offers a fun and engaging single-player experience that balances skill and strategy, especially in the later levels where players must employ actual gameplay skills to progress. Its less realistic approach allows for creative storytelling, making it an enjoyable journey for players.
“Fun little single-player story mode that uses its less realistic approach to explore unique narratives.”
“You might get by with just spamming, but in the later levels, you'll need actual skills to reach the final level of the story mode.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is shallow, and I found it difficult to care about their motivations.”
“The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises or emotional impact.”
