The gameplay is characterized by its short, simple, and smooth mechanics, featuring a unique combat system with mechanical gloves for engaging enemy encounters. While some players appreciate the fun and refreshing experience, others express a preference for more varied gameplay, critiquing the reliance on regenerating waves of enemies. Overall, the game shows potential for deeper complexity, particularly in a roguelike format, but may benefit from additional difficulty settings.
- “The gameplay was short-lived but was entertaining and refreshing.”
- “Your character wears a pair of metallic, mechanical gloves that allow her to punch and throw enemies.”
- “I am reminded of the gameplay style of 'arena shooters,' where a player is dropped into a large area with never-ending waves of enemies that they need to eliminate.”
- “To be completely blunt, I'm not a fan of continually regenerating waves of enemies, although I understand why designers tend to use that gameplay tactic.”
- “Never-ending or regenerating waves of enemies allow designers to put more 'gameplay value' into the same amount of space.”
- “It could benefit from a difficulty setting, and I think it has the right basis to become a potentially good roguelike if the developers want to use their mechanics for something more complex.”

- “There's adequate storytelling in the game, with the progression through the factory and the recordings that you pick up.”
- “I really like the idea of this, and the sound, but it is laggy to play, so I will never know the story.”
- “Would've liked to have seen the main character more in cinematics and would've appreciated more verbal storytelling as I find the story relies too much on the environment.”
- “Story progression is performed by picking up recordings that play audio files and, as you progress through the factory, you go through various rooms and specialized areas.”
