The gameplay is a unique blend of pinball mechanics and rogue-like elements, where players use the ball as a weapon against enemies in a casual yet engaging format. While the pinball aspect is fun and fluid, some players find the overall gameplay can become repetitive due to limited variety and weak plot. However, the game offers a satisfying progression system, enjoyable mechanics, and a humorous art style, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of quirky roguelikes.
- “The mix of zombie combat via pinball and skill mechanics, as well as the physics play to try and hit those sweet spots for high scores, has been really enthralling.”
- “I love the mechanics of the game, the goofy self-awareness of some of the characters, the progression path to unlock things, the music and sound effects are good and satisfying, and the game balancing is relatively fair for the assumed younger target audience.”
- “This game is a neat blend of classic pinball and zombie defense gameplay, but with a surprising amount of well-developed roguelite mechanics.”
- “I had a lot of fun with it, but currently I am not really looking to push through multiple playthroughs beyond trying out the new characters, as the plot is kind of weak and gameplay variety and choice within runs is limited.”
- “I like goofy roguelikes and this game was quite enjoyable for the first few hours, but there's just not enough change for the gameplay not to be repetitive.”
- “I'm rating this as a yes for the gameplay in the stages, because the actual pinball levels are a lot of fun, but if it was a rating for all the stuff around the pinball levels, it would be a massive thumbs down.”

- “Some things can be excused (choppy sound effect loops continuing past boss deaths, visual glitches which appear if you alt-tab while playing at certain times - which I attribute to user conditions for me personally, and a few others).”
