The gameplay features solid archery mechanics that provide a natural flow once players understand projectile tendencies, although some users experienced challenges during intense enemy waves. While the sound effects enhance the experience, there are concerns about certain aspects of the bow mechanics that need improvement for the game to stand out in the competitive wave-based archery genre.

- “Solid bow mechanics where aiming feels natural, and once you're aware of projectile tendencies, it creates a smooth flow.”
- “This happened to me on wave 7 of the first level, and I found myself overwhelmed by enemies quickly while fighting with the mechanics.”

Players find humor in unexpected bugs, such as a glitch that hilariously switches the controls for loading and releasing arrows. However, the repetitive level patterns detract from the overall comedic experience, as they can lead to predictability in gameplay.
- “I encountered a bug I couldn't reproduce after restarting the game - the trigger to load and release arrows got switched to the bow hand, which was hilarious!”

Reviewers note that the game's replayability is hindered by a lack of campaign levels and a compelling narrative to enhance the experience. Additionally, the absence of a level editor or mod support limits player creativity, while the bow upgrades feel insufficient, suggesting that more variety could improve replay value.
- “One point off for the lack of campaign levels and the absence of a mini plot explaining why you're defending these areas. The game also misses level editor/mods compatibility for replayability, and it could have offered more for the bow upgrades, such as shooting further, increasing projectiles, or adding more effects to arrows.”
