The gameplay is fast-paced and dynamic, featuring a single type of gun with various unlockable bullet types, which adds to the intensity and workout aspect of the game. Players can experience a variety of locations and weapons, enhancing engagement, while the ability to pause gameplay is countered by the inability to resume after dying. Overall, the game offers interesting mechanics and a visually appealing experience, though it is not related to rhythm games like Beat Saber.
