The story emphasizes resilience and the unpredictability of life, highlighting the importance of perseverance in the face of adversity. However, some users note a lack of a structured narrative or highscore system, which detracts from the overall storytelling experience.

“The achievements don't work (despite the developer saying 'they are not broken'). There's no high score system or storyline.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”

The game's optimization is generally solid, but players feel that the progression system lacks depth, as upgrades primarily consist of minor enhancements to weapon performance without significantly altering gameplay dynamics.
“The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even during intense action sequences.”
“I appreciate how the game balances performance and visuals, making it accessible for players with different hardware capabilities.”
“The upgrade system is well-designed, providing meaningful enhancements that genuinely improve weapon performance and gameplay experience.”
“The game has potential, but the optimization is lacking. The only way to upgrade weapons is by picking up bonuses that spawn every wave, which only slightly enhance projectile count, size, or damage. This doesn't significantly impact the overall performance of the guns.”
“While the game is enjoyable, the optimization feels underwhelming. The upgrades available through bonuses are minimal and don't provide a meaningful improvement to weapon performance.”
“I appreciate the game's concept, but the optimization is disappointing. The upgrades are limited to minor enhancements that don't really change how the weapons function in a significant way.”
