The gameplay has been widely criticized for its repetitive and simplistic mechanics, primarily revolving around throwing bombs at the same enemies without much variation or depth. Many reviewers found the core loop boring and lacking in engagement, with minimal options and poor graphics contributing to an overall unsatisfactory experience. While some noted a nostalgic charm reminiscent of arcade games, the overwhelming sentiment is that the gameplay fails to deliver a compelling or enjoyable experience.
- “Very fun and addictive gameplay.”
- “The game uses a simple mechanic, which is essentially pick up a spawned bomb and throw it to kill the ever-spawning enemies, much like the fun and addictive arcade games of the past.”
- “It's rudimentary mechanics, visual style, and sound might see it enjoy some success as a free-to-play mobile game or a flash game.”
- “It's not great - the core gameplay loop of throwing bombs at the same enemies over and over is not engaging and varied enough.”
- “The gameplay is so boring that you just run around throwing bombs at the same exact enemies over and over until you can go to the next level to do the same thing over and over again.”
- “A simply drawn background is the set for an immediately repetitive, mechanically barebones game where a character tries to chuck bombs at things ad nauseam.”

The game's story is perceived as lacking depth and clarity, with players feeling that a narrative framework could significantly enhance the experience. While elements suggest a potential storyline involving a priest and a vampire transformation, the absence of explicit storytelling leaves players confused and wanting more context. Overall, the lack of a backstory and tutorial detracts from the game's engagement and value.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “If there were a single frame of art with some text telling a simple story in between each scenery change, that would add a lot to the game.”
- “Because there's no actual story here, but everything says there really should be: the priest, the lady helping him by turning him into a vampire for a bit, the undead crawling around, and the linear change in scenery.”
- “It's like the designer had a story in mind, but never actually told it.”
