The graphics are praised for their vibrant, colorful visuals that resemble liquid paint explosions, showcasing a significant improvement over previous titles. However, some players note that the 3D graphics can appear rough, and there are issues with frame rates and freezing. Overall, while the graphics have been updated and enhanced, they still retain a simple aesthetic.
- “The devs are known for colorful visuals that look like you're painting the screen with explosions of liquid paint, and they are more impressive than ever here.”
- “Great game with beautiful graphics.”
- “More modes, more unlockables, a much-needed graphics update (it's still simple, but much more effective than the first).”

The gameplay is generally considered decent, maintaining familiar mechanics typical of a twin-stick shooter; however, it suffers from rough 3D graphics, a disappointing soundtrack, and significant technical issues such as frame rate drops and freezing. Additionally, the game offers fewer options than previous iterations, including the absence of a difficulty level select.
