The gameplay is characterized by its simplicity and satisfying mechanics, though it suffers from outdated graphics and some repetitiveness. Players appreciate the helpful dash mechanic and item drops, but find the enemy spawn patterns and optimization issues challenging, particularly in later waves. Additionally, the limited weapon variety detracts from the overall experience.
- “Very good game, love the audio and the simple mechanics.”
- “This game is incredibly satisfying and exciting even if I suck at it. The item drops are great, the dash mechanic is greatly helpful, and the enemies are a bit unfair (especially the red ones, god I hate them). They're challenging sometimes but spawn up-close out of nowhere, and when there's a horde of them, they eat my CPU. I've read more powerful players say optimization issues start at wave 9, and it also lacks weapon variety because there's only 3.”
- “It's simple, the controls are simple, the mechanics are simple, and it's a bit repetitive.”

The game offers a fun and challenging experience, but players report significant optimization issues, particularly on lower-end hardware, leading to lag and performance drops as they progress through waves. While the gameplay mechanics are satisfying, the lack of weapon variety and the overwhelming enemy spawns contribute to the strain on system resources, especially noted around wave 9.
- “This game is incredibly satisfying and exciting even if I struggle with it. The item drops are great, and the dash mechanic is very helpful. However, the enemies can be a bit unfair, especially the red ones. They spawn up-close out of nowhere, and when there's a horde of them, they really tax my CPU. I've read that more powerful players say optimization issues start at wave 9, and it also lacks weapon variety since there are only 3.”
