The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring standard mechanics like movement, shooting, and collecting power-ups, but suffers from lag, confusing menus, and unbalanced difficulty. While it attempts to blend elements from "Vampire Survivors" and "Space Invaders," the execution feels incomplete, with issues like windowed mode affecting control. Despite these flaws, some players appreciate its unique movement mechanics and overall style.
- “The game follows the style of Vampire Survivors, but it has its own shine, and with different basic movement mechanics, which already justify a game for those who played it and liked it a lot.”
- “Other than above, game mechanics are okay, nothing exceptional but not bad - move around, shoot, collect XP and power-ups, gather currency to get stronger between runs.”
- “The fact that it's not full screen has hurt gameplay a few times as the mouse is not locked into the window, and misclicking will minimize the game causing you to lose control.”
- “It's a vampire survivors clone with exactly one hour of gameplay.”
- “Bad attempt at mixing Space Invaders with Vampire Survivors style gameplay, honestly!”
- “The game's presentation is janky, with gameplay that feels laggy, confusing, and incomplete menus. The texts of weapons are not explanatory at all, and in general, there is a very unbalanced difficulty where some weapons are infinitely more effective than others. The match itself becomes such a barrage of bullets that it eventually becomes impossible to move properly, with the bullets pushing the player around like a pinball.”

The game's optimization is currently a mixed bag; while it runs fluidly, performance issues arise when numerous elements are on screen, and there are limitations with full-screen resolution options. However, players remain hopeful for improvements as the game is still in early access.
- “The game is fluid, but there are some areas for improvement, such as performance when many elements are on the screen and adjustments for full-screen play (I couldn't use the 1920x1080 resolution). However, I'm still following this project in its early access phase, as improvements should come.”
- “It also clutters all the space on and beyond the screen and hits performance.”
- “The game is fluid, but there are some things to improve, like the performance when you start to have a lot of elements on the screen, as well as adjustments to be able to play in full screen (I couldn't use the 1920x1080 resolution). I'm still following this project that is in the early access phase, because improvements should come.”
