    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics feature low-quality low poly 3D visuals that may not appeal to all players, despite a nice overall art aesthetic. While the abstract visuals are appreciated, the basic enemy designs detract from the experience and could use improvement.

    • “I dig the abstract visuals of the game, and to its credit, the game's page points out the game is short.”
    • “This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
    • “Perhaps unsurprisingly, the gameplay matches the art aesthetic.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is visually aligned with the art aesthetic but is considered basic, taking place on a small stage with minimal difficulty until the final waves, where enemies become significantly tougher and can easily push players off the stage.

    • “However, the game's pretty basic in terms of core gameplay, all set on a very small stage where the difficulty isn't really a thing until the final waves where every enemy suddenly has a massive health bar and can and will push you off the stage if you're not careful.”
    • “It's just gameplay.”
    • “Perhaps unsurprisingly, the gameplay matches the art aesthetic.”
  • story

    • “I love how the grinding mechanics encourage exploration and experimentation with different strategies.”
