  • gameplay33 mentions

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and smooth execution, drawing comparisons to titles like Superhot while maintaining its uniqueness. However, many users note a lack of content and repetitive elements, particularly in early access, with suggestions for improvements such as a campaign mode, better weapon mechanics, and more varied gameplay experiences. Overall, while the core mechanics are well-received, there is a consensus that further development is needed to enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “Very fun and interesting game mechanics, very well put together, 10/10, amazing game.”
    • “The graphics are okay, but the general gameplay and movement are horrible. The time stop feature is straight-up stolen from Superhot, and the shotgun doesn't even work properly; its spread is massive and unrealistic.”
    • “You can't reload either; after a few minutes of gameplay, your ammo is non-existent.”
    • “Gameplay needs to be worked on; you can't reload and it is generally a chore to play.”
  • graphics10 mentions

    Overall, the graphics received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the crisp and well-defined visuals, while others criticized them as subpar or inconsistent. Many noted that the graphics could be improved alongside gameplay mechanics, particularly in relation to physics and character movements. Despite the criticisms, some users found the graphics to be decent and fitting for the game's fast-paced nature.

    • “On my laptop screen, the graphics were crisp and well defined.”
    • “The game itself is very fun in general with decent graphics, fun gameplay, and pretty cool character movements.”
    • “Fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on.”
    • “The graphics are okay, but the general gameplay and movement are horrible. The time-stop feature is straight-up stolen from Superhot, and the shotgun doesn't even work properly; its spread is massive and unrealistic.”
    • “Graphics are terrible, and it's so annoying when it goes slow-mo whenever I don't move on my keyboard.”
    • “I think the graphics and physics could be enhanced, and the gunplay could use a little work.”
  • story6 mentions

    The reviews indicate a lack of a cohesive story or narrative structure in the game, with players expressing a desire for a more detailed storyline and larger, more immersive maps. While the gameplay and graphics are praised, the absence of a traditional story or level progression is noted as a significant drawback.

    • “The gameplay is all the same and the graphics are easily better.”
    • “Mission timers are based on real-time as opposed to slowed down time, so you can't just exploit your time abilities to make every mission go perfectly with no trouble.”
    • “Some things you can improve are making the map a lot bigger with more details, and adding a small storyline instead of random levels.”
    • “There aren't levels or a story, but the gameplay is all the same and the graphics are easily better.”
    • “Only without a story yet.”
  • grinding5 mentions

    Players find that while survival mode offers more enjoyment than time attack, it still suffers from repetitive and grind-heavy gameplay. Overall, the consensus indicates that grinding is a significant aspect of the experience, with some suggesting it may require considerable time investment.

    • “Lots of grinding.”
    • “Compared to time attack, survival mode feels more fun, although the gameplay in the small arena is still quite repetitive and grindy.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game is generally praised for enhancing the action and overall experience, with a top-tier soundtrack that complements gameplay.

  • humor2 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as amusing, particularly in its absurdity and ease, with one reviewer likening it to a poorly made bootleg version of "Superhot" where the mechanics lead to comical situations. The combination of over-the-top action and simplistic gameplay contributes to a lighthearted and entertaining experience.

    • “This game is pretty funny! It's like a superhot game where you kill some folks, and it's a lot of fun.”
    • “It's a bootleg version of Superhot, but the humor comes from how easy it is. Shooting doesn't make time continue, so I could just spam the SMG, shotgun, and pistol without ever needing to use the abilities.”
