Achievements are relatively easy to attain once players learn the basic patterns.

It has a unique concept of allowing players to add their own music, although the implementation is unclear.

There is a complete lack of sound effects and music, making the experience dull.
The game is poorly designed, with basic controls and a frustrating bullet-hell mechanic that feels unfair.

The game's music aspect is severely lacking, with no original soundtrack or sound effects beyond a single explosion noise. Players are instructed to add their own music files to the game folder, which has been met with confusion and frustration. Overall, the absence of in-game music and sound design has led to overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many reviewers rating it a 0/5.
- “The main menu lets you choose from some kind of screen resolution and graphic quality, but instead of having a soundtrack, the game literally tells you to 'put some music in a game folder then hit play in the pause menu.'”
- “It's quite interesting; I found few games that not only have no music at all but also ask directly to the player to open YouTube if they want to hear something. I prefer a game without music rather than one that tells me to put random MP3 files in a folder.”
- “The game tells you to put music into its directory, which is a unique approach, but it leaves the experience feeling empty without an original soundtrack.”
- “There's no music; the only sound you hear is when you die, an explosion. Other than that, it's quieter than a funeral.”
- “There's also no sounds outside of music you put in the folder yourself, so it can't even bank on a great original soundtrack like other indie shmups.”
- “No music whatsoever and one sound effect when your ship explodes.”

The graphics of the game have been widely criticized for relying on outdated retro pixel art, resulting in lackluster 2D visuals that offer little improvement even when resolution settings are adjusted. Many players find the simplistic art assets unappealing and reminiscent of low-quality flash games, leading to an overall negative impression of the game's visual presentation.
- “Think Hong Kong 97 with prettier graphics.”
- “For me, the graphics have never been important, but some ships leave something to be desired because they simply seem like a repaint of each one.”
- “The main menu lets you choose from some kind of screen resolution and graphic quality that, when set on high, looks like a flash game that you modify through right click.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
- “The main menu lets you choose from some kind of screen resolution and graphic quality that, when set on high, looks like a flash game that you modify through right-click. Plus, instead of having a soundtrack, the game literally tells you to 'put some music in a game folder then hit play in the pause menu.'”

Overall, the game fails to deliver a compelling or enjoyable gameplay experience.
- “Inputting a lives system or some other mechanic would help make player progression through the various levels smoother.”
- “The gameplay is incredibly boring; in fact, it loops after you defeat all the enemies, and this seemingly goes on forever.”
- “Very poorly made bullet hell game, with the graphics being terrible and the gameplay boring and repetitive.”
- “Repetitive and boring gameplay, poor sound, flawed execution of the 'bullet hell' theme, useless health pickups, and an absolutely terrible boss that takes forever to be killed.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its self-aware quirks, such as the unconventional main menu that humorously instructs players to add their own music to the game folder. Additionally, the graphics, reminiscent of a modified flash game, contribute to the overall comedic tone.
- “The main menu lets you choose from various screen resolutions and graphic qualities. When set to high, it looks like a flash game that you can modify through right-click. Plus, there's something really funny - instead of having a soundtrack, the game literally tells you to 'put some music in the game folder then hit play in the pause menu.'”
