The graphics of the game are praised for their eye-catching, nostalgic visuals reminiscent of Geometry Wars, enhanced by vector graphics and display bloom effects. While the aesthetics are appealing and well-executed, some players feel that the overall experience lacks depth, making it less recommendable despite the solid visual presentation.

“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.”

The gameplay is visually appealing and features tight controls, but suffers from a lack of variety and a slow progression system, leading to a somewhat bland experience despite its potential for addictiveness. While the enemy mechanics offer some challenge, the overall gameplay loop feels repetitive, reminiscent of a blend between 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 2 ideas - Geometry Wars and Vampire Survivor - seems like a great concept, considering their common traits and 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 locked behind extensive grinding, which can lead to burnout before reaching the endgame.

“Grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
“I found myself spending hours on grinding, only to realize that the rewards weren't worth the time invested.”
