The gameplay is characterized as simple and repetitive, with straightforward mechanics that may initially engage players but lack depth for long-term interest. While the visuals and level design receive some praise, the overall experience is described as generic and unremarkable, with a focus on addictive yet shallow gameplay. Despite some attempts at world-building, the narrative feels minimal and serves primarily to support the gameplay rather than enhance it.
- “The mechanics are simple and intuitive.”
- “The level design is good and even though the mechanics of the game are pretty simple, they are well done.”
- “Gameplay is super simple, but highly addictive, and deceptively challenging.”
- “The frequency of name drops and references to past events indicates there’s some world-building going on, but hardly any of it is visible in the actual gameplay.”
- “My point is, it's a totally okay game, but too simple in the gameplay to hold an interest in the long run.”
- “The gameplay is generic, very repetitive.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their clean visuals and appealing art style, effectively conveying an atmospheric blend of old factory and cyberpunk elements.

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players noting a lack of background music during gameplay, only featuring it in the final level. While a few users appreciate the music for enhancing immersion, others criticize it as repetitive or poorly mixed, suggesting that the overall sound design, including sound effects, is subpar and detracts from the experience.
- “Music, secondarily, is also great and promotes immersion.”
- “The art style is fun and music is great.”
- “Free to play, fun, tight controls, beautiful art and music, immersive world that gets the imagination running wild.”
- “The sound effects are all poorly mixed stock files, there’s no music, and eventually you’ll start to notice the collisions and hit detection looking like a slapdash GameMaker project.”
- “It currently doesn't have music.”
- “Only the final level had background music.”

The game's story is generally considered minimal and serves primarily to support the gameplay, with some players noting that it lacks depth and polish. However, there are positive remarks about the interesting characters and the potential for a more engaging narrative, especially with a cliffhanger ending that leaves room for continuation. Overall, while the writing may not be strong, the story concept has its merits within the context of a brutal platformer.
- “The storyline so far is interesting and features very cool characters.”
- “This is a brutal platformer with solid controls and concise economic storytelling.”
- “Also, the game kind of ends on a small cliffhanger as the protagonists leave the planet, so it'd be cool if the story continued, as Trent is a pretty good storyteller.”
- “Even if the writing was good, which it isn't, I'm not here for a story but for gameplay.”
- “The story is close to non-existent and is there in a quantity just enough to serve the gameplay.”
- “You can tell it's difficult and it is pleasing to the eye; it has the makings of a good platformer, but I don't have much hope for the story though.”
