The game offers an interesting shooting mechanic where players control their hands and aim the guns, providing a unique gameplay experience.
It's a quick game that can be fully completed in a short amount of time, making it suitable for casual play and achievement hunting.
The voxel graphics are cute and add a charming aesthetic to the game, appealing to players who enjoy this art style.

The game suffers from poor aiming mechanics, with no reticle for proper targeting, making it frustrating to hit the intended targets.
There are technical issues, such as items and enemies being positioned in corners that cannot be targeted, which detracts from the overall experience.
The game is criticized for being a low-quality asset flip, lacking depth and originality, and is seen as a cash grab by the developer.

The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and cash grabs through the use of uncredited assets from other creators. Users have noted a pattern of suspicious activity, including the creation of fake accounts to promote these games, suggesting a deliberate attempt to exploit the Steam platform for profit.
- “It's important to also note the developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
- “Piece of voxel has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alternate accounts.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
