The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many players praising its catchy and energetic soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. While some noted that a few tracks feel overused, the majority found the music to be a standout feature, often getting stuck in their heads long after playing. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a major highlight, contributing significantly to the game's fun and engaging atmosphere.
- “The soundtrack may actually be my favorite in any game and the gameplay loop is euphoric!”

- “The music is also really great and super catchy!!”
- “Some songs are overused or repeated; it could use a few more tracks.”
- “Apart from some music loops that don't loop too well and the annoying Tamagotchi that says all three of his lines over and over in one level until I stamp my feet angrily, you can go very fast and it's good shooting time.”
- “Then pray to goddess Cupcakke about playing music for the fight!”

While the aesthetic is a highlight, opinions vary on how well it complements the gameplay, with some feeling that the graphics alone cannot elevate the game's overall quality.
- “Bright visuals and banging music - really great to play when you want to dissociate for a little while.”
- “The game also has a wonderful variety of locations and with all the colorful graphics that is a great tribute to 2000s web styles and more conventional shooter locations which make it very visually interesting to the end of the game.”
- “It's honestly a great movement shooter, with a unique and genuine aesthetic and incredible soundtrack!”
- “I don't have an amazing rig, but this game performs very poorly for its graphics.”
- “What you saw in the trailer is the same aesthetic repeating every 5 minutes in the same manner.”

The gameplay is generally praised for its fun movement and shooting mechanics, with unique elements like dash jumping and the "mega multi portal" shotgun feature enhancing the experience. However, some players find the mechanics janky or difficult to master, and there are calls for better accessibility options and key binding flexibility. Overall, the game is described as engaging and enjoyable, complemented by a catchy soundtrack and appealing visuals, though some aspects may feel repetitive or underutilized.
- “Gameplay is satisfying and I do like how it has a little story.”
- “Is an incredibly fun game with a fantastic sense of style, great music, and really engaging gameplay.”
- “The weapons generally feel good to use and the movement mechanics feel unique.”
- “But the gameplay is janky and strange in a way that I can't find fun.”
- “The dash jumping mechanic is strange and still feels slow despite being 'the fastest way to move.' Jumping out of a wall run slows you down considerably.”
- “While I love this game aesthetically, not being able to switch any of the key binds on controller is a total deal breaker for me, largely because pressing the left stick opens the weapon wheel, and I'm way too programmed already that left stick is sprint. It's actually impossible for me to play without essentially holding down the left stick the entire time, making me bring up the weapon wheel every 2 seconds, destroying the flow of combat.”
