    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the charming art style and character designs, while others criticize the use of outdated pixel art and the lack of customizable graphics settings. Although some players find the visuals cute and enjoyable, the absence of options like resolution adjustments and windowed mode detracts from the overall experience for others. Overall, the game's aesthetic shows potential but requires further refinement to meet modern standards.

    • “Love the artwork and the responsiveness of this game!”
    • “The music is great, the graphics are amazing, and each of the individual designs for the characters and enemies are top-tier.”
    • “The art style is wonderful, the animation and music are S+ tier, and the character design is awesome.”
    • “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel art as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is widely praised for its originality, fast-paced mechanics, and engaging design, making it a fun experience for players. While some users noted a steep learning curve and suggested the addition of tutorials or character diversity, the overall consensus highlights the game's rewarding nature and enjoyable challenges. The charming art style and unique systems, such as spell and bullet usage, further enhance the gameplay experience.

    • “A really cool generative roguelike with rapid and original gameplay.”
    • “Very interesting gameplay and design, fun game to play when bored.”
    • “Its really fun at first, and there's challenges you can do to increase gameplay.”
    • “I really like how the menu system works through NPCs and the gameplay is fast-paced and skill-based.”
    • “This is a very fun game, I really like the art style and gameplay, and the system of using spells and bullets.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed feedback; while many players appreciate the quality and fast-paced nature of the soundtrack, some express frustration over the limited selection, noting that only one song is available initially. However, updates have introduced additional music options, enhancing the overall experience. Overall, the music is praised for complementing the game's graphics and gameplay, contributing to a fun atmosphere.

    • “Good music, but I wish for more.”
    • “Fun and challenging fast-paced music runner!”
    • “Simple controls and a good soundtrack make a great combo!”
    • “Yes, you have to play a bit to unlock background music; it's really dumb.”
    • “I feel like it would be better executed as a mobile game. My only complaint is that there is only one song to listen to, which I find gets annoying over time. At least they added an option to turn off the music.”
    • “I like the concept and the art and music, but it lacks any menu to set graphics options. Windowed mode is basic in 2021; if you did not include the option for windowed mode, you did not make a game that should be on Steam.”
  • story
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and not essential to its appeal, but players express a desire for more narrative depth and character diversity, suggesting that additional mechanics and unique character abilities could enhance the experience. Despite its repetitive nature, the game remains engaging enough to draw players back after completing tasks or missions.

    • “This game is amazing! If they added a story with bonus mechanics and different characters, each with unique play styles, it would be even better. Imagine a character that uses low-damage bullets or one that is fast but fragile, able to jump onto enemies and knock them into each other. That would be cool!”
    • “If they make another one, I hope it will be a 2D platformer RPG with a strong story element.”
    • “This game is amazing honestly if you did some tweaking and added a story (which it doesn't really need to begin with) with bonus mechanics and different characters with all different play styles, I think it would be good.”
    • “If they make another one, but in a 2D platformer RPG, with a story style.”
    • “It is very repetitive.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some enjoy the process of accumulating resources and upgrades, others find it excessive and feel that it leads to a lack of content and meaningful spending options. The need for grinding is acknowledged, but it can become tedious after a few hours of gameplay.

    • “I wish there were more things to spend my gems on, because after grinding for cash and buying everything in the store, I still had like 30,000 unspent gems.”
    • “The only problems I have with this game are the lack of content, not enough upgrades, and too much grinding once you get a few hours in. Additionally, you can get hit right into another enemy, making you lose more health without it being your fault.”
    • “You do need to grind for upgrades, but I love grinding for stuff, so this is a pog moment.”
  • character development
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviewers praise the character development for its cool concept and outstanding character design, highlighting the impressive art style, animation, and music as key elements that enhance the overall experience.
