The game is fun and allows for quick unlocking of different weapons and characters through experimentation.
Despite being in early access, the game shows promise and has a unique take on the bullet heaven genre.
The graphics, while pixelated, feature high-quality weapon effects and the gameplay can be enjoyable for short sessions.

The lack of permanent upgrades and the need to repurchase upgrades for each mission is frustrating and limits progression.
The game has not received updates in a long time, leading to concerns about its future development and balance.
Gameplay feels unbalanced, with slow movement, weak weapons, and a lack of healing options making it difficult to progress.

The story aspect of the game is hindered by a frustrating upgrade system, where players must purchase enhancements for each mission, only to lose them afterward. This lack of permanent character progression detracts from the overall experience, especially given the short mission lengths of around eight minutes, which limits opportunities for meaningful upgrades. While earning coins for upgrades is relatively easy, the reset mechanic can feel disheartening.
- “The mission length is quite short, strangely only 8 minutes, and because of this, you barely can upgrade your weapons.”
- “You can only spend the coins before a mission, and only those you earned in the previous run, which reset on every new mission start.”
- “This lack of permanent character building is a bit of a bummer, but getting more coins to upgrade your character when you start a new mission isn't that difficult.”

The gameplay is described as slow and somewhat fun, but many players find it tedious and poorly balanced, particularly criticizing the difficulty of the first level. While acknowledging that it is an early access title, reviewers suggest that significant re-balancing and gameplay adjustments are necessary to enhance the overall experience.
- “The game has slow, but somewhat fun gameplay.”
- “I think some other gameplay changes are needed first.”
- “Learn how to balance gameplay; the first level on normal difficulty shouldn't be impossible.”
- “It may be only early access, but the gameplay is very tedious and does not show the same potential that 'Vampire Survivors' did at its early access launch.”
- “The translations need a native speaker's touch, and most of the mechanics need re-balancing, but it's tolerable for a day zero release.”
