Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the fast-paced runs are enjoyable, the repetitive level design leads to a monotonous grind. Some users feel that the abundance of enemies, especially on harder difficulties, can make gameplay feel tedious rather than challenging. However, others appreciate the lack of forced grinding, allowing for immediate engagement with the game.
“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 there are just a bit too many projectile enemies, and hard mode has so many enemies that it feels more tedious than challenging.”
“There is no aggressive hand-holding or grinding, and you can start playing almost immediately after launching the game.”
