The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its unique blend of io games and tower defense mechanics, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth. Although it offers a simple learning curve and engaging core mechanics, many users find the gameplay loop unengaging and plagued by bugs, leading to a frustrating experience as the game progresses. Overall, while it has potential, the execution leaves much to be desired.
“The gameplay is very good, especially early on with a very neat spin on the good ol' io games and tower defense with the simplistic and dynamic logistics.”
“No idea how I got 15 hours of gameplay from such a simple game, but I did.”
“Simple to learn but with surprising depth to the gameplay once you take off the training wheels.”
“Pretty basic, not a lot of planning involved, and the basic mechanic of the game is to add more and more sprites, which just lags your computer out until you can't progress anymore.”
“Its one selling point was gameplay, and it flubs that pretty hard.”
“Although the concept is nice, the interface is a bit buggy (screen jumps when zooming in quickly, etc.), not user-friendly at all, and there isn't much depth in the gameplay.”

Overall, the game's optimization is criticized for significant performance issues, particularly as gameplay progresses and bases expand, leading to lag and reduced frame rates. While some users report decent performance on specific hardware, the general consensus is that the game suffers from poor optimization, especially in later stages, detracting from the overall experience. Recommendations for future releases emphasize the need for improved optimization.
“I haven't had any performance issues with my Ryzen 5600X yet, and I don't think I've seen more than 20% usage on any thread.”
“If another release is ever made, please focus on optimization and retaining the simpler aesthetic.”
“Overall, I recommend it for the unique blend of game elements, but the logistics flaws were a stumbling block and in the end, I got tired of the performance issues.”
“There are some limited options to improve performance of the game; however, their effect isn't notable.”
“Sadly, it's terribly optimized, and rising in the leaderboards is just a battle of who can endure more of the lagfest.”
“Performance gets worse as your base grows, and the attack waves feel more and more like a slideshow.”
