Gameplay in this title is characterized by a blend of randomness and memorization, particularly in its final floors, which can lead to repetitive cycles of dying and replaying. While the mechanics are simple and the game offers various customization options for difficulty, some players find the reliance on randomness and difficulty to artificially extend playtime frustrating. Overall, the game is praised for its fun, straightforward mechanics and appealing art direction, making it suitable for short gaming sessions.
- “There are also quite a lot of custom options for you to make the gameplay easier - or harder - for you.”
- “I find it great as a coffee-break game, since you can launch and play any mode for 5-10 minutes and feel like you got a pretty good gameplay experience out of it.”
- “The final set of floors is the most straightforward embodiment of random chance-based gameplay the game has to offer.”
- “The very final floor with the final confrontation is absolutely just die over and over and over, replaying the previous floors every single time you die to a hazard you need to memorize the response to in order to survive; which requires you to die multiple times to learn the mechanics and thus replay the previous floors numerous times.”
- “It's incredibly short, but it's padded out by its teetering difficulty to a tremendous degree. Even on my first time, I still beat it in under 30 minutes. Using difficulty to make a game arbitrarily longer is just lame. This tactic is taken even further by making it randomized, which guarantees you won't ever really get a complete feel for the gameplay. It takes a WarioWare approach of having to scan everything quickly while being under a time limit for every level, but it just puts a bandage on a fundamentally flawed choice of game design to make it feel harder than it is.”

Players note that the main source of replayability in the single-player mode stems from pursuing achievements, suggesting that the addition of a leaderboard could enhance its appeal as a replayable arcade experience.
- “Adding a leaderboard to this would make it much more appealing as a replayable arcade game.”
- “For single-player players, I think most of the replay value for the main mode comes from the achievements in the game.”
