- “Graphically, the game is unique to say.”
- “Cute graphics, if you like pastels, and the occasional puzzle.”

- “If you want to play a FPS metroidvania exclusively for the mechanics of getting upgrades/unlocks that improve your ability to fight and navigate, and unlock new rooms and areas, then go ahead and try this out.”
