The graphics of the game are frequently praised for their eye-catching, nostalgic aesthetics reminiscent of Geometry Wars, featuring vibrant vector graphics and effective display bloom. While the visuals and sound design are appealing, some players feel that the overall gameplay lacks depth, making it difficult to recommend the game more broadly despite its strong visual appeal.
“Pros: the game has eye-catching visuals, satisfying sound design, tight controls, and enemy movement/mechanics that are a little more diverse and challenging compared to similar games.”
“I love the geometry wars-inspired nostalgia bait graphics, and it gets a lot of the fundamentals right.”
“Another fun vampire survivors clone with Geometry Wars graphics.”
“Game-play and graphics are fine for what they are.”
“Vector graphics combined with display bloom as seen from arcade machines do their job as well.”

The gameplay is visually appealing and features tight controls, but suffers from a lack of variety and a slow progression system, making the experience feel somewhat bland despite its potential for addictiveness. While the enemy mechanics are more diverse and challenging than in similar games, the overall gameplay loop lacks the excitement one might expect from a fusion of styles reminiscent of Geometry Wars and Brotato.
“Pros: the game has eye-catching visuals, satisfying sound design, tight controls, and enemy movement/mechanics that are a little more diverse and challenging compared to similar games.”
“Very well made, beautiful effects, excellent gameplay loop.”
“The mix of two ideas - Geometry Wars and Vampire Survivor - seems like a great concept, considering their common traits and the abstract nature of the gameplay.”
“Progression takes a while, somewhat lackluster weapons, and a gameplay loop that should be super addictive but feels kind of bland.”
“Gameplay-wise, there's little variety to each run.”
“Gameplay is like if Geometry Wars had a baby with Brotato.”

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that the most engaging content, such as evolutions and mutations, is only accessible in the endgame, which can lead to burnout before reaching that point.
“The most interesting content (evolutions/mutations) is tucked into the endgame, well after I was getting sick of grinding and wanted to stop playing.”
