The graphics of the game are characterized by a unique and simplistic art style that some players find visually appealing and charming, while others criticize it for being too minimal and lacking engagement. Despite some graphical bugs and layering issues, many appreciate the crisp, pencil-like artwork and the humor in the character designs. Overall, the graphics serve their purpose, but opinions vary widely on their effectiveness in enhancing the gameplay experience.
“The aesthetic is simple, crisp, and visually pleasing.”
“Intriguing and simple pencil line artwork.”
“The black & white cartoonish graphics are great.”
“The art style could not be any simpler, yet you're likely to find a new bug every minute.”
“Graphical and layering issues, settings changing from what you put them as, bad grammar in what little text there is, the shooting itself not working sometimes, failing the mission and forcing you to restart; this game just isn't worth it.”
“There are also some graphical bugs where objects and people overlap the wrong way - cars run over the heads of people on the sidewalks, people walk apparently on the roof of one building then disappear behind the next and it turns out they were at street level the whole time.”

The gameplay is characterized by a solid sniper experience with diverse missions and satisfying mechanics, though it can become repetitive and simplistic over time. While the initial missions serve as a gentle introduction, the difficulty ramps up, providing a challenge that some players find addictive. The unique art style and immersive sound design enhance the overall experience, but the limited number of missions and the 'miss and you've lost' mechanic may detract from long-term engagement for those not deeply invested in sniper games.
“A solid sniper experience with diverse missions and satisfying mechanics.”
“The gameplay is also tight, it's addicting and after finishing the campaign I went straight for the other game modes.”
“Simple gameplay but fluid and well planned.”
“Most of the gameplay gets kind of boring if you're not heavily into sniper-style games. You load into a mission, look around a bit for the bad guy(s), take your shots, exfil, rinse and repeat.”
“The adventure mode is only 11 or 12 missions, so it's a very short game, made longer by the 'miss and you've lost' gameplay, which is fine on some levels, but seems pointless on others.”
“The gameplay mechanics are very basic and straightforward, but they aren't rough around the edges.”

“A simple but enjoyable little game that's relaxing to play for short spells of time and/or with your own music list playing in the background.”
“The music is melancholy yet soothing as you quietly go about your murderous business.”
“The mysterious music in the introduction of the cases and the sounds of a living city in the gameplay bring a feeling of being inside the game.”
“The music was a bit, well, creepy.”
“I guess the OST is comprised of public domain tracks because they've been used in other games.”
“Music keeps turning back on by itself.”

The humor in the game is widely praised for its blend of cute and funny graphics, reminiscent of "Where's Wally?" while incorporating a dramatic contrast with blood effects. Players find the gameplay addictive and entertaining, with humorous characters and a quirky art style that enhances the overall experience. Despite some moments of frustration in finding targets, the game's comedic elements keep it engaging and enjoyable.
“I loved the game, simple and practical. It reminds me of 'Where's Wally?' with a time limit, which makes it even more exciting. The drawings are funny and even cute, for those who don't like blood. Even though it's 2D, there is an option to not show blood. It also has a way of looking for items in the scene that is quiet and very enjoyable to play.”
“Quick and funny find the hidden object game.”
“Very funny characters, with a beautiful noir art style.”
