The gameplay features a nostalgic run-and-gun style reminiscent of classic Super Nintendo and Genesis titles, with enjoyable weapon mechanics, particularly the shotgun, and a satisfying gib effect on enemies. While the initial experience is engaging, it can become repetitive and frustrating after repeated playthroughs, especially due to unrelated minigame challenges that disrupt the flow. Overall, the innovative control scheme of holding the shoot button while moving and jumping adds a unique twist to the gameplay.

“The weapons are fun to use (I love the shotgun), and the gib effect when you blast an enemy adds a lot to the gameplay.”
