The gameplay features unique mechanics such as dodging into the background and sidestepping to avoid enemies, which add an interesting twist to the experience. However, players have noted issues with optimization, sluggish controls, and a lack of polish, including bugs and unclear upgrade instructions, detracting from the overall enjoyment. While the visuals and intense boss battles are praised, the gameplay's clunkiness and frustrating interface elements leave much to be desired.
- “There are also some interesting gameplay mechanics where you can dodge into the background, and there are even boss fights that take place in the background.”
- “Great visuals, intense gameplay, with some massive bosses and survival stages!”
- “+ Game mechanics: as someone already said, here 'bullet hell' becomes 'enemy ships hell', because you'll have to avoid bullets and gazillions of microscopic ships, coupled with larger ones.”
- “Gameplay consists of basic dodging and shooting mechanics.”
- “Gameplay itself is poorly optimized, sluggish, and generally unpleasant to try playing, so I couldn't recommend this, despite it being free, to even the most ardent shmup fans.”

The game's optimization has been criticized for being demanding on hardware, particularly due to its visually impressive graphics that can lead to overcrowded screens. While some players with high-end systems, like a Core i7 and GTX 1060, report minimal slowdowns, the increased fan activity suggests that the game could benefit from better performance tuning options.
- “The graphics are beautiful (did I just say that?) but heavy on the hardware, which is really unusual for a scrolling shooter. The screen can be so overcrowded that your video card will work a lot; I've not experienced really noticeable slowdowns with my Core i7, but my GTX 1060 fan sure went loud on many occasions and even reached maximum speed a couple of times. This game could easily be used as a video card test/benchmark, so probably they should have inserted at least some performance tuning options.”
- “Developers should teach themselves a thing or two about optimization before undertaking such projects.”
- “The graphics are beautiful (did I just say that?) but heavy on the hardware, which is really unusual for a scrolling shooter. The screen can be so overcrowded that your video card will be heavily taxed; I've not experienced really noticeable slowdowns with my Core i7, but my GTX 1060 fan sure went loud on many occasions and even reached maximum speed a couple of times. This game could easily be used as a video card test/benchmark, so they probably should have included at least some performance tuning options.”

The humor in the game is largely criticized for being poorly written, featuring unfunny puns and awkward text-to-speech delivery, leading players to wish they could skip the dialogue. While there are occasional moments of unintentional humor, such as amusingly bad English lines, the overall comedic aspect falls flat, overshadowed by frustrating gameplay mechanics that require excessive grinding.
- “On one spike, it looks quite cool and isn't crushingly awful, featuring one of the more hilarious bad-English lines I've seen in a game lately.”
- “There isn’t much humor, but what is there is just bad: horribly written dialogues and unfunny puns voiced by a text-to-speech engine make you wish you could skip that stuff entirely.”
- “What is not funny is the fact that you basically have to grind the first two levels to save up for upgrades, as the prices are just laughably high. Without grinding, you will have problems clearing even the third mission.”

Players find the grinding necessary in the early levels to be frustrating, as the high costs of upgrades require significant effort to accumulate resources. Without this grinding, progressing past the initial missions becomes challenging.
- “It's frustrating that you have to grind through the first two levels just to afford upgrades, as the prices are absurdly high. Without grinding, you'll struggle to complete even the third mission.”
- “The grinding required to progress is excessive; it feels like a chore rather than an enjoyable part of the game.”
- “I found the grinding to be tedious and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of balance, as players find the initial weapon quickly becomes obsolete, forcing them to grind through early levels to afford necessary upgrades. This design choice detracts from the overall experience, making progression feel tedious and frustrating.
- “What is not funny is the fact that you basically have to grind the first two levels to save up for upgrades, as the prices are just laughably high. Without grinding, you will have problems clearing even the third mission.”
- “What is even funnier is that your first weapon is obsolete in the first level, as it is way too weak, and you are given the second weapon at the start of the same mission.”
