The gameplay is praised for its smooth controls and engaging mechanics, particularly the deathtrip and bounce features, which enhance the overall experience. However, some players feel that the initial learning curve is steep, suggesting a more gradual introduction to the game's systems would improve accessibility. While the fast-paced action is exhilarating for fans of the genre, the difficulty may stem from a lack of understanding rather than inherent challenge.

- “If you're a fan of insanely fast gameplay and constant stimulation, this is a great experience.”
- “The weapons feel better than ever (especially with the love upgrade), and the bounce feature is one of its core mechanics.”
- “The gameplay after 30 minutes before I surrendered was - most of the game doesn't matter.”
- “I think it should be a playable level that slowly introduces all the mechanics it wants you to know so when you start stage 1 you're equipped to actually handle it.”
- “My only issue with it is that I'm not exactly sure how the death trip mechanic works.”

- “If you're from Devil Daggers, Nix Umbra, Hyper Demon, or even Ultrakill, there's nothing in here for you except a strong aesthetic and music.”

The game's music and sound design are praised for their strong aesthetic, enhancing the overall experience. However, players express a desire for separate audio sliders for weapon and enemy sound effects to better balance the audio mix.

- “If you're from Devil Daggers, Nix Umbra, Hyper Demon, or even Ultrakill, there's nothing in here for you except a strong aesthetic and music.”
- “The music feels repetitive and lacks the depth needed to enhance the gameplay experience.”
