The gameplay is an innovative blend of fast-paced action reminiscent of Hotline Miami, featuring one-shot, one-kill mechanics and customizable combat styles that enhance the challenge. While the intuitive and fluid mechanics create a unique experience, the implementation of the sound-based visibility system has some inconsistencies, as not all sounds generate visible waves, which can lead to a disconnect in gameplay. Overall, it offers a compelling arcade-like experience that requires players to master its mechanics.
- “With one-shot, one-kill gameplay and customizable combat styles, it's a unique action experience where being blind only makes you more dangerous.”
- “A great short game with intuitive and fluid gameplay mechanics that doesn't compromise on providing a challenging experience.”
- “It has that balance of being arcade-like, in the sense that it's fast-paced and action-packed, while still requiring the player to really understand its mechanics.”
- “There's a bit of a disconnect in the mechanic though, not every 'sound' makes a sound wave that you can see.”
- “You don't see waves coming from enemies when they move, nor when your character moves (area is revealed via the boombox mechanic).”
