The game offers tight gameplay and a challenging difficulty that keeps players engaged.
There is a nice variety of enemies with unique powers and several weapons and upgrades to experiment with.
Despite its simplicity, the game can provide a few hours of fun, especially for those who enjoy grinding for high scores.

The level design is repetitive and lacks variety, often leading to a feeling of monotony after a short playtime.
The controls are not fully customizable, which can hinder the gameplay experience for some players.
The power-up system is flawed, as players do not start levels with the weapons they have purchased, leading to frustration during gameplay.
