    The graphics of the game are praised for their unique art style and fluid movement, making it a standout feature for many players. However, some users have experienced potential issues with graphics settings, particularly related to the performance of blood effects during gameplay. Overall, the visuals contribute significantly to the game's appeal, especially considering its origins as a university project.

    • “I really enjoy the movement of this game; it's definitely my favorite part. The art and graphics are so unique, I love it! This is definitely one of the best underrated games I've played. As a university project, you guys smashed it! I'll be waiting patiently for another game by you.”
    • “Could just be an issue with the graphics settings, but I'm guessing the amount of blood effects happening at once could also be the cause.”

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth, with players noting that the missions are limited to three highscore arenas, offering little engagement or narrative development.

    • “Not much to do in the actual missions as far as I can tell, just three high-score arenas.”
