The gameplay features a fast-paced experience with a variety of weapons and a solid progression system, but suffers from significant issues such as clunky controls, unreliable mechanics, and a lack of clarity in upgrades. Players find the need to use a mouse for perk selection while using a controller frustrating, and the dash mechanic often leads to unintended movements, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Despite its polished fighting mechanics, the gameplay feels incomplete and can become tedious.
“Plenty of variety for weapons, fast-paced gameplay, enemies drop boosts, a good progression system for unlocks, and it's free.”
“Very polished mechanic that makes fighting fun; I wish you could auto-shoot if you hold the button, though it gets tiring to keep pressing.”
“Worse is that when you level up during gameplay, you have to choose your perk with the mouse even when you're using a controller.”
“Gameplay seems half-finished with missing weapon stats and poorly explained upgrades.”
“Even when enemies spawn normally, there's no point in trying to dodge them because they're marginally faster than you, and the dash mechanic will throw you in the wrong direction a good portion of the time.”

The game shows great potential and offers an enjoyable experience, but it suffers from significant optimization issues, including below-average framerates and performance problems caused by excessive graphical elements. Players express hope for future updates to improve these aspects.
“The game can be beaten in a couple of hours of play using only what you start with and could use a bit of optimization, but it is an amazing game with a great concept, so even if you don't get it now, it should definitely be on your watch list.”
“Fun, has potential, but extremely poorly optimized.”
“Below average framerate due to performance-hogging grass that even grows on the road.”
“Really looking forward to more upgrades and general optimization of the game.”

The graphics are considered decent for a free game, with users noting that even on low-end PCs, the visuals are satisfactory despite lower frame rates.
“Even though I played this on a low-end PC, I only got at most 15 FPS on the lowest graphics.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous bugs affecting gameplay, such as collision problems and enemies spawning in unreachable areas, which can abruptly end a player's run. Players have found that empty maps, despite their lack of content, provide a more enjoyable experience due to these glitches.
“The game is incredibly buggy.”
“Surprisingly, empty maps with no buildings are the most enjoyable, mostly due to buggy collision and enemies spawning in inaccessible locations, which completely ends the run.”
