The gameplay features a blend of basic action platforming and shooting, set within a unique lawyer-with-a-gun theme that emphasizes high difficulty and strategic use of limited checkpoints. While the mechanics are simple, the solid level design and interesting platforming challenges, including navigating around enemies and manipulating level elements, contribute to an engaging experience. Overall, the gameplay is fun and encourages players to master its challenges despite its indie roots.
