    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring smooth mechanics and a fun premise of playing as a mutant bear, with a low learning curve and 360-degree shooting. However, some players find it lacks innovation and can feel sluggish, with limited ammo adding a layer of frustration to the classic twin-stick shooting experience. Overall, while the gameplay has its strengths, it also faces criticism for its outdated mechanics and mediocre graphics.
