The game runs well and has a unique mechanic for displaying the current clip in the weapon model.
Some players find enjoyment in the game's liminal spaces aspect.
It is free to play, which some reviewers appreciate.

The game is poorly made with broken textures, invisible walls, and a lack of meaningful gameplay.
There are only two weapons, both of which are uninteresting and ineffective against stationary enemies.
The overall experience is described as mindless and boring, with many players feeling it is more of a tech demo than a full game.

The gameplay features a unique mechanic where players can see the current clip by manipulating tubes on the weapon model, enhancing immersion as bullets are visually fired from the gun's model rather than the center of the screen.
- “The mechanic of showing the current clip by moving tubes sticking out of the weapon model is quite unique, and it was interesting to observe the bullets actually shooting from the gun's model, not the center of your screen.”

The graphics of the game are generally unremarkable, with minimal strain on hardware, leading to smooth performance. However, this lack of visual complexity may leave some players wanting more in terms of graphical fidelity.
- “The game runs well, I guess, but it would be shocking if not, considering the lack of graphical strain this game could put on your PC.”
