  • The game features gorgeous pixel art with vibrant neon visuals and detailed environments, capturing a strong cyberpunk vibe.
  • Gameplay is fluid, fast-paced, and engaging with intuitive controls, a variety of weapon types including unique shark guns, and satisfying combat mechanics.
  • There is a compelling roguelike structure with a variety of enemies, bosses, and upgrade systems that provide a solid "one more run" factor, supported by an active and responsive developer team improving the game in early access.
  • The game currently suffers from numerous bugs and technical issues such as invisible projectiles, getting stuck outside maps, black screen crashes, and frozen menus that hinder the overall experience.
  • Progression and upgrade systems can feel frustrating and grindy, with questionable design choices like losing unspent currency after each run and an uninspiring upgrade tree that limits meaningful player advancement.
  • Some gameplay elements such as the difficulty balance (especially minibosses and end-stage fights), limited weapon variety with only a few enjoyable shark guns, and linear map navigation reduce replayability and can cause player frustration.
