    • “Enjoyable gameplay and an interesting puzzle platformer, but expect to die and restart the entire level a lot.”
    • “It has high-action run-and-gun gameplay with smooth controls, cathartic violence, a large selection of varied weapons, and an unobtrusive sense of humour.”
    • “Beautifully simplistic pixel graphics, wonderful difficulty in certain areas, and tight gameplay.”
    • “It's exactly the same game really, with a badly mangled English translation from a poorly written Polish blurb, some of the laziest pixel art I've seen in a long while, and pretty mediocre gameplay with an emphasis on shooting, but there's a bit of puzzle platforming and other game elements.”
    • “If I changed all my other reviews to positive, would the graphics and gameplay of this crap game suddenly improve?”
    • “This game is based around the concept of trial and error gameplay.”

    • “The stages themselves are fine as is; they each resemble a motif, making the stages have a story-relevant progression as you advance through the game, also letting you pick up blueprints and money.”
    • “Hardly a success story; gamers just weren't all that interested in the mobile app.”
    • “However, there is no trick in the final mission.”
    • “The stages themselves are fine as is, but they lack a compelling narrative to engage players.”
