The gameplay features a core mechanic that is easy to learn but challenging to master, encouraging players to engage aggressively with the combat system. While new characters can be unlocked, they don't significantly alter the main gameplay experience. The progression introduces more complex enemy mechanics, creating a fun and stylish arcade-like loop that rewards skillful play and strategic combos.
“This game has the kind of core mechanic that gets stuck in your brain.”
“Most items you buy don’t do anything by themselves, but actually activate once you reach a certain combo (which requires you to be proactive in your fights without taking damage)—it pushes newer players to be more aggressive and engage more with the mechanics, while making good players more equipped to swiftly deal with enemies in a fun and stylish way.”
“There's some new characters to unlock, but the main gameplay doesn't change much with them.”
“In early levels, enemies just stand still and rotate their weapons or shields (following the same rules you do), but as you progress, their mechanics become a bit more involved.”
“Mechanics are easy to learn but hard to master.”

The music in the game is highly praised for its catchy and engaging quality, often lingering in players' minds and encouraging them to return for more gameplay. The soundtrack complements the quirky enemies and vibrant visuals, enhancing the overall experience and making it a standout feature.
“The short length and simplicity of it makes it easy to pick up and play casually here and there, but the challenge keeps you coming back. Just when I think I'm done and have forgotten about the game, the soundtrack worms its way into my head and I find myself binging attempts. Once you get the hang of things, racking up huge combos is satisfying.”
“Awesome music and visuals too!”
