Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the fast-paced gameplay is enjoyable, the repetitive nature of the levels leads to a monotonous grind. Some users appreciate the lack of aggressive hand-holding, allowing for immediate gameplay, but others feel that the abundance of enemies, especially on hard mode, can make the experience more tedious than challenging.
“While the fast-paced runs are initially enjoyable, the lack of level variety makes replaying the same levels feel grindy and monotonous.”
“I also think sometimes it's just a bit too many projectile enemies (and hard mode is just so many enemies it's more tedious than hard), but honestly it's quite fun.”
“There is no aggressive hand-holding or grinding, and you can start playing almost immediately after launching the game.”
