The graphics of the game are characterized by low-quality, low-poly 3D visuals, which may disappoint many gamers seeking higher visual fidelity. While some appreciate the game's unique aesthetic and entertaining concept, the overall visual execution is seen as a significant drawback.
- “Really cool and fun game, very entertaining and with an awesome idea and aesthetic.”
- “In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”
- “Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers.”

Gameplay is hindered by lag issues and problematic collision detection, where hitboxes do not align with visual cues, affecting the accuracy of shooting mechanics. The innovative health system tied to the combo meter is undermined by slow meter filling, making it difficult to maintain high combos against bosses. Overall, while the gameplay concept is engaging, these technical flaws detract from the experience.
- “The gameplay is based on 'accurate' shooting, but there are issues with collisions, such as the collision box of your spaceship being larger than what is visually represented, and bosses not aligning properly with their attack patterns.”
- “The concept is fun, but the interesting mechanic of having your health bar tied to your combo meter is undermined by it filling up too slowly, along with boss health bars being designed around the expectation of maintaining a max combo.”
- “I also put a trigger warning about world 3; it brought some lag with the new mechanic.”
- “In a general way, the collisions with your spaceship seem off (the collision box is bigger than what we are seeing). The collisions with the bosses are also problematic (you are on the boss target, but the bullets are going to the side). The issue is that the gameplay is based on 'accurate' shooting.”
