The gameplay features solid mechanics with interesting casino-style gambling elements that add variety and a compelling progression loop. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and scales well, it is somewhat limited by scripted levels, weak balance, and lack of diverse content or upgrades. Improvements in content and balancing could enhance the overall experience significantly.

- “Interesting gambling mechanics, making each run varied.”
- “The levels are scripted the same way every time, as placed by the developer, not random; one weapon and one character for the whole game; few different mobs; weak balance; and few upgrades or any other mechanics.”

- “The gameplay scales really well but the menus and stage selection is broken for 5120x1440.”
