The graphics of the game are generally praised for their quality and solid interface, but many users 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 effects like glowing elements and brightness sliders to enhance the overall aesthetic.
“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.”
“Maybe different visuals at least (color palettes or enemy skins, different arena visuals) could be relatively easy to implement.”

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

The music in the game is highly praised for its quality and ability to enhance the experience, especially considering the game's low price point. While there is currently only one track, players find it enjoyable and fitting, contributing to the overall fun of the game.
“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. While it is enjoyable, the absence of difficulty options and diverse classes diminishes the incentive to replay. Future updates may address these issues, but currently, the game feels stagnant after the initial playthrough.
“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 generally good, particularly on Linux with open-source drivers for AMD APUs. However, there are still some areas that require optimization and fixes before it is 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 other elemental spells like fire or lightning. 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.”
