The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it overly simplistic and repetitive, particularly criticizing the underutilization of the decoy mechanic and frustrating escort levels. While the controls are tight and the game offers a fun aesthetic, many feel that the core mechanics lack depth and creativity, leading to a bland experience despite the potential for challenging gameplay. Overall, the game is seen as a blend of retro charm and frustrating repetition, with a skill ceiling that may deter some players.
- “The game plays exactly the same but has updated the visuals with higher resolution graphics and provided additional gameplay features.”
- “With tight controls, loads of levels, a fun aesthetic and simple to learn, hard to master gameplay, it walks the fine line between challenging and frustrating.”
- “What I liked about the game: Donkey Kong meets Space Invaders, quick gameplay involving a lot of up and down movement and blasting aliens from the left or right.”
- “The decoy gameplay mechanic isn't utilized as much as I liked, and the escort levels were just annoying.”
- “Collecting achievements in the game to unlock more levels is not the best way I like to see progression handled; the game probably has you reach a skill ceiling and a frustration threshold, as well as a grate on your ability to handle repetitive gameplay and recycled assets.”

The game's story is criticized for its minimalism, lacking depth and failing to engage players over extended periods. While it attempts to evoke nostalgia for simpler narratives, it ultimately falls short of the charm and quality of classic titles, with certain missions being particularly deemed nonsensical.
- “It was fun for a while, but I don't think I can see myself playing it for extended periods of time, especially given the lack of a storyline.”
- “It wants to re-create the simple colorful joys of the past, when a plot was a one-paragraph intro before the shooting started, but while it throws the story out the window, what is left doesn't measure up to the old classics it is trying to ape.”
- “Also, basically any mission involving the words 'bomb disposal' or 'space babies' are the dumbest things.”

Overall, it serves as a compelling element that draws players back for its engaging mix.
- “The background music could get grating, especially if you play for an extended period.”
- “There's nothing quite like playing as Santa Claus with a laser gun, fighting aliens on what appears to be a floating musical staff.”
- “I consistently come back to this game as my 'go-to' when I want to put on some music through Steam and play a game that allows me to get lost in the mix.”
