The gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players appreciating its initial charm and mechanics reminiscent of io games and tower defense, while others criticize it for being repetitive and lacking depth. Although it is easy to learn and offers some engaging moments, many users found the gameplay loop unengaging over time, with issues like lag and a buggy interface detracting from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, some players still enjoyed the core mechanics and expressed a willingness to revisit the game.
“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.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players experiencing significant lag, especially as their in-game base expands and during attack waves. While some users report no performance issues on specific hardware, the overall consensus is that the game suffers from poor optimization, particularly in the later stages, making it a frustrating experience for many. Recommendations for future releases emphasize the need for improved optimization to enhance gameplay.
“I haven't had any performance issues with my Ryzen 5600X yet, and I don't think I've ever seen more than 20% usage on any thread.”
“If another release is ever made, please focus on optimization and retaining the simpler aesthetic.”
“A fun game to play for a little while, the Steam version does have better performance than the browser version, but regardless, it lags around day 350+.”
“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.”
“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.”
