The graphics of the game are generally praised for their charm and aesthetic appeal, featuring a low-poly style that runs smoothly even on low-end hardware. Many players appreciate the beautiful environments and effective destruction mechanics, which enhance the overall experience, although some desire more detail in certain aspects. Overall, the visuals are considered a strong point, contributing positively to the nostalgic and engaging gameplay.
- “I love the graphics, the music; it caters to my old-arcade-shooter nostalgia each time.”
- “The game has some really beautiful environments, and the graphics are really well designed and laid out.”
- “Graphics look cool as hell, nice partial destruction system.”
- “It’s a simplistic game, both in graphics and sounds.”
- “Even for its price this game does not offer enough content: shooting is dull, graphics are all brown, music does not fit the action, 'progression' system is linear (and you can't even stop upgrading to that slow tank), scoreboards constantly reset (and there are like 50 players total so not much to compete with).”
- “It looks quite good but to be honest you'd be better off playing Luftrausers, as except for the minimalist graphics it does everything Furious Angels does, but far better.”

The gameplay is characterized by its fast-paced, addictive mechanics and simple controls, making it accessible yet challenging. While the game offers a satisfying arcade experience with a variety of upgrades and tactical choices, some players note a lack of depth and repetitiveness due to limited gameplay content. Overall, it is praised for its visual style and fluidity, appealing for short play sessions but may not satisfy those seeking a more extensive gaming experience.
- “Great visual style and addictive gameplay, perfectly suited for short coffee breaks but don't expect anything deep or long-lasting here.”
- “The basic mechanics are rock solid; the controls are smooth as silk, the difficulty ramps slowly and steadily because of a well-designed wave pattern and consistent upgrades.”
- “A handful of layered mechanics combine to give you constant interesting tactical choices while being fully concentrated on surviving the increasingly overwhelming enemy onslaught.”
- “The bad: there's very little gameplay to actually experience.”
- “I recommend this game to anyone, but be aware, it's repetitive because it has permadeath and you need to start always from the beginning... and it's hard because it has mechanical fruitflies!”
- “Recommended when you can get it on sale... gameplay is limited of course to survive as long as you can, when you power up enough to be a tank it actually makes you slow and you are shot down quite quickly, in fact I look forward to the effect to wear off and just fly around again.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its nostalgic and chill aesthetic, while others criticize it for being repetitive, bland, and lacking energy. Many users note that the sound effects are weak and often overshadowed by the music, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, while the soundtrack has its moments, it generally lacks variety and fails to enhance the game's action-packed atmosphere.
- “I love the graphics, the music; it caters to my old-arcade-shooter nostalgia each time.”
- “The music, slow motion, and sound design are very rewarding!”
- “Love it - super simple 2D shooter, but what makes it special to me is the understated music, differing enemy types, physically simulated shrapnel, and slidey ship.”
- “The music is rather bland and uninspired, the sound effects are dull and not rewarding.”
- “The music does not match with the intense dogfighting that is going on and is somewhat out of place.”
- “The sound and music are bad, they take more away than they add and start out very quiet and you need to turn the volume up.”

The game lacks a substantial story or campaign, with players noting that there is no real progression or narrative depth. While the gameplay is enjoyable as a twin-stick shooter, it feels repetitive and shallow due to the absence of a story, multiplayer options, or meaningful upgrades. Overall, those seeking a rich narrative experience will be disappointed.
- “But if the developer can make a multiplayer and campaign with a story, this game will be the best of the best shooter games.”
- “If you're looking for a story, however, this isn't your game.”
- “Just don't expect a 60-hour deal with a fleshed-out story, multiplayer lobbies, crafting systems, and economies.”
- “That said, don't go into this expecting anything too in-depth; there is no story, there is no real progression, and there is no beating it.”
- “Oh, and there’s no campaign, no story, no upgrade grinding.”
- “If you're looking for story, however, this isn't your game.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and unfulfilling, as the initial gameplay experience can be fully explored in just 15-30 minutes, leaving hours of repetitive runs for leaderboard rankings. The lack of a campaign, story, or meaningful progression diminishes the sense of achievement, with most achievements tied to grinding rather than skill improvement or tactical development. Overall, the grinding feels monotonous and lacks depth, leading to a disengaged player base.
- “It's easy to see everything in the game in 15-30 minutes; everything after that is grinding for a higher spot on the leaderboard. The game is so simple there's not even much in the way of improving your skills and coming up with better tactics. It's just a matter of doing run after run after run for hours and hours while 85% of players never played for more than 1 hour in a day.”
- “There is no real sense of progression or achievement, and all of the achievements are based off of grinding.”
- “Oh, and there’s no campaign, no story, no upgrade grinding.”

The game offers a high level of replayability with its engaging airship and fighter jet mechanics, allowing for intense dogfights in diverse extraterrestrial settings. However, some users feel that the lack of a structured progression system and campaign limits its long-term replay value, making it more of a casual time killer than a deeply engaging experience.
- “Wonderful game, great price (at least when I got it) and lots of replayability.”
- “Infinitely replayable airships, fighter jets, and intense dogfights on extraterrestrial planets, fighting death star systems, or like cruisers, but homeworld destroyer types, and you're just this puny jet that eventually becomes a flying tank.”
- “It would benefit greatly from proper progression and campaign; as it is, it is a time killer and not very replayable.”
