The gameplay is characterized by a fast-paced and enjoyable roguelike loop, offering a rewarding experience with a solid progression system, despite some grindiness and occasional staleness after extended play. Players appreciate the chaotic fun and variety in builds and upgrades, although some find the controls and mechanics initially challenging. Overall, the game successfully blends elements from popular titles, delivering satisfying gameplay that keeps players engaged, even if it lacks a strong narrative.
- “Enjoyable and rewarding gameplay loop, a roguelike with an end goal rather than 'complete it, mate.' Some indie jankiness here and there mainly regarding assets, but a nice style despite all the farting jokes.”
- “Progression system is done really well, a bit grindy to get everything, but since the gameplay is very satisfying and you can complete a run in about 5-8 minutes - it's great.”
- “The elements are well-blended to create a super fun gameplay loop, all wrapped up in a goofy and simplistic graphical style which manages to make things distinct enough for you to be able to tell what's going on even when all hell breaks loose, and it's topped off with a quirky sense of humor.”
- “There are a few progression walls within the game that made me stop playing at some point, because the gameplay gets a bit stale after a few hours.”
- “Every single pickup you get just enhances those things and doesn’t change the gameplay in any way.”
- “- tedious repeating gameplay after understanding game mechanics.”

The game's story is largely criticized for being minimal or non-existent, with no side quests or meaningful choices to enhance the narrative experience. While it borrows gameplay mechanics from other titles like Hades and Sekiro, the overall plot is described as lacking depth, focusing instead on straightforward gameplay.
- “There is no side quests or choices to make other than levels.”
- “This game borrows very heavily from several places, mostly Hades (in terms of structure, not in terms of story; the story in Bing is pretty much non-existent) with a bit of Sekiro (the poise-breaking execution mechanic) and Curse of the Old Gods (pay for boons by getting cursed).”
- “Not much of a story, if one at all; just meat and potatoes - which the core gameplay is very satisfying!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, as it often involves repetitive gameplay and minimal rewards, such as small incremental upgrades. However, the satisfying gameplay and short run times (5-8 minutes) help mitigate the grind, making it more enjoyable despite the need for extensive grinding to progress fully.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “Perhaps it's also a downside of having so few builds to run, but there are only things like: increase weapon damage by 1%, or HP by 3, or defense by 1. By the end stages of the game, I was getting absolutely hammered despite spending time grinding out currency in earlier stages.”
- “Tedious repeating gameplay after understanding game mechanics.”
