The graphics of the game are praised for their appealing art style and impressive blood physics, drawing comparisons to "Hotline Miami" while offering a slightly slower pace. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the game's potential and enjoyment.
“I liked the art style.”
“A cool action game which has a lot of potential. It reminds me of Hotline Miami, only that it is a bit slower, which is not bad. The blood physics are the best and pretty good. The art style is also very good. I'm looking forward to the other levels in the game to play, and maybe a level editor or a workshop for maps or mods would be cool. In any case, it is absolutely worth the $4.99. Good job!”

The story begins with an engaging song during the first mission, but players quickly encounter immersion-breaking elements, such as pedestrians ignoring the protagonist's armed presence and the presence of invisible walls, which detracts from the overall narrative experience.
“The story feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The characters are one-dimensional and fail to evoke any emotional connection.”
“The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises.”
