Gameplay experiences vary significantly among users; some find it repetitive and lacking depth, criticizing the grindy nature and minimal differences between weapon upgrades. Conversely, others appreciate the smooth controls and unique mechanics of fighting on small rotating planets, highlighting the enjoyable challenge and variety of enemies. Overall, while some players recommend it for its arcade-style fun, others suggest looking for alternatives due to its perceived shortcomings.
- “Plays amazingly well on pad with controls that are simple to learn and gameplay that is tough to master.”
- “Anyway, I really like the game; very smooth gameplay. I found that fighting enemy waves on small planets that you rotate as you move around was really enjoyable and unique. The game has both permanent and temporary progression, and I know I’m going to spend a few more hours in that one, so I recommend it.”
- “The gameplay loop is based on being fair to the player, which makes it hard to stop playing.”
- “Gameplay, however, gets very repetitive, very quickly.”
- “The grindy nature, along with the occasionally poor placement of gameplay elements like the bombs, leads to annoying repetition.”
- “With upgrades that don't feel meaningful and don't change the game mechanics in any way, it quickly becomes apparent how little depth there is here.”

The game's graphics are generally described as colorful and visually appealing, with some users noting that they are a strong point of the experience. However, while the visuals are praised, they are also seen as a cover for a lack of depth in gameplay mechanics. Overall, the graphics are considered decent, but they do not compensate for the game's fundamental shortcomings.
- “I mean 3 bucks for an action roguelike top-down shooter with good graphics is a hell of a price.”
- “+ great visuals and unique aesthetics.”
- “Even with all the weapons upgraded to max, there's little difference in what any of them do... just different shooty graphics but really no mechanical differences.”
- “The game is very much carried by the visuals.”
- “Visuals are ok.”

Players criticize the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it often feels tedious due to poor placement of gameplay elements and repetitive tasks. Many believe that in a roguelite, the challenge should stem from skill and knowledge rather than excessive grinding.
- “The grindy nature of the game is frustrating, especially with the occasionally poor placement of gameplay elements like bombs, leading to annoying repetition.”
- “In my opinion, a roguelite should not have grinding as a barrier to completing a run; it should be based on knowledge and skill instead.”

The story is minimal, primarily serving as a backdrop for gameplay that revolves around shooting and traversing small planets. Players can focus on upgrading character traits between runs rather than engaging with a substantial narrative.
- “There isn't much, if any, story; it's basically just shooting things and making your way across each small planet through a variety of gameplay styles.”
