The game offers a challenging difficulty that keeps players engaged.
There is a nice variety of enemies and weapons, adding some fun to the gameplay.
Despite its simplicity, the game can provide a few hours of entertainment, especially for those who enjoy grinding for upgrades.

The level design is repetitive and lacks diversity, often leading to a feeling of monotony.
Controls and mechanics can be frustrating, particularly with the gun-switching system and enemy AI.
The game feels more like a basic endless runner than a full-fledged platformer, which may disappoint players looking for depth.
