The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and solid interface, but players express a desire for more variety in visuals, such as different color palettes, enemy skins, and larger maps. Suggestions for improvement include adding more weapons and monsters, as well as implementing visual enhancements like glowing effects and brightness sliders to elevate the overall aesthetic experience.
“I like the graphics, and the interface is solid, but the spells lack variety and imagination, and a few of them seem useless.”
“The visuals are great, although a bit of variation and larger maps would be nice, especially for a mobile phone port.”
“Although the game visuals are very good, I felt that a glowing effect on everything and brightness/gamma sliders would enhance the overall look and feel.”
“Maybe different visuals at least (color palettes or enemy skins, different arena visuals) could be relatively easy to implement.”
“It would be even better with at least 30-50 weapons, 20 different monsters, and a way to change stage visuals for a more exciting infinite adventure.”

The gameplay is praised for its great design, though some users feel that certain mechanics, such as gold buying, overshadow other elements and can feel cheap. Suggestions for improvement include introducing new item drop mechanics from bosses or mini-bosses. A recent patch has also made significant changes to enhance the gameplay experience.
“Great design and gameplay.”
“The gameplay is fun.”
“Update 7/28/2022: there is a new patch released with significant gameplay changes.”
“The rest of the game is secondary to this mechanic.”
“It just feels cheap when lazy mechanics like this ultimately end up being the only thing ending a run.”
“You can keep the gold buying game mechanic, but consider adding different elements like bosses or mini-bosses dropping items, or including chest drops.”

The music in the game is surprisingly impactful for a budget title, with players praising its quality and enjoyment despite having only one track. It enhances the overall experience, contributing to the game's fun atmosphere and charm.
“Plus, the music packs an unexpected punch for a budget horde survival game priced under 1€.”
“Fun little game with an awesome soundtrack!”
“Also really love the music and the cute little character you play.”

The game suffers from low replayability due to a lack of permanent unlocks, limited upgrades, and repetitive gameplay, with players noting that starting a new run offers little variation or challenge. While it is enjoyable, the absence of difficulty options and diverse classes diminishes the incentive to replay. Future updates may address these issues and enhance replay value.
“Perhaps future updates to the game will improve its replayability.”
“No permanent unlocks, no replay value, all the enemies are the same, all the classes suck except one, the map is too small, and unlike the description, the game mentions upgrades are limited to 10.”
“It's a fun game, though it lacks a lot of replayability.”
“The most you can do for replay value is start a fresh new run, but there are no difficulty options or permanent upgrades, so the next run will be just more of the same.”

Overall, the game's performance is commendable, particularly on Linux with open-source drivers, but it still requires some optimizations and fixes before it can be considered fully ready for release.
“The performance is quite good, and it runs on Linux natively with open-source drivers (AMD APU).”
“The game could use some optimizations and fixes, but it would be almost ready for release.”

Users have noted a lack of synergy between upgrades, particularly with ice spells, leading to confusion about the necessity of choosing between different elemental spells. This has raised concerns about the overall stability of gameplay mechanics and balance.
“So far, there is no synergy between upgrades: there's one ice spell that freezes or burns, and I'm unsure why I should ever pick the other ice, fire, or lightning spells.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to progress without losing progress.”
“I've encountered numerous bugs that disrupt gameplay, leading to frustrating experiences.”
