The graphics of the game are widely praised for their charming, cartoonish aesthetic reminiscent of classic animations and the popular game Cuphead. While the visuals are considered the standout feature, some reviewers note that the depth of gameplay does not match the quality of the art, leading to a perception that the graphics are more for show than substance. Overall, the appealing art style and soundtrack enhance the experience, making it visually enjoyable despite the game's simplicity.
“It's certainly got lovelier graphics and a more pleasing aesthetic than pretty much any clicker out there, so if you're just looking for something to stare at that has that Cuphead vibe, it's probably worth it on that alone.”
“The art style is very appealing and possibly the best part of this game.”
“The art style is like old cartoons, and really nice to watch.”
“Looks cool but it's really stretching the idea of what a game is... all the work on these visuals and nothing is really done with it.”
“In fact, nothing about the gameplay features is original aside from the art style.”
“It's obvious this is trying to play off the classic cartoon visual aesthetic that made Cuphead a treat to look at, but that's really the only memorable quality.”

The music in the game features unique melodies for each level, enhancing the thematic experience, though customization options are limited to volume control. While many players praise the soundtrack and art style, some express dissatisfaction with sound levels and the overall coherence of the music, describing it as occasionally irritating. Overall, the soundtrack is appreciated, but there are calls for quality-of-life improvements regarding music settings.
“Each level has its own unique opponents, backgrounds, and a musical composition that will brighten up the player's stay.”
“Great soundtrack.”
“I've always enjoyed the music and art style of this developer, and I'm thrilled to see them make an idle clicker game.”
“The only options available are the volume of the music and sounds, which is kind of lackluster even for a browser-based clicker and rather pathetic in a charge-for game... I can't customize whether I want it to notify me of things available in the store, at the very least?”
“The soundtrack is all over the place.”
“Sound level is either too low or too slow and the music is actually a little irritating.”

The gameplay is characterized as a basic clicker/idle experience, offering around 30 hours of playtime but lacking depth and originality, with only minimal features introduced throughout. Players can upgrade character stats and manage party health, but the overall mechanics feel repetitive and uninspired, resembling a self-playing afk-clicker. While it may appeal to fans of simple clicker games, expectations for more engaging gameplay are not met, especially for a paid title.
“If you like simple clicker/idle games, it is worth these few dollars for 30 hours of gameplay.”
“Simple mechanics, and satisfying progress.”
“Gameplay is more about defense where you have to slightly manage your party's HP.”
“Gameplay is fairly plain and only one additional feature is introduced over the whole course of playing.”
“In fact, nothing about the gameplay features is original aside from the art style.”
“Pretty much the only reason why I lasted this long is because I expected something more, but no, it holds just as much content at the first minute of gameplay as it does in 8 hours.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be repetitive yet engaging, as they unlock and strengthen characters while battling enemies in a side-scrolling beat 'em up style. The experience is accompanied by a consistent sound of fists crashing, which adds to the overall atmosphere but may feel monotonous over time.

“I found myself doing the same tasks over and over again just to level up, which quickly became tedious.”
