While many users wish for a greater variety and more tension in the soundtrack to match the game's intensity, overall the music is considered a standout and integral part of the experience.

    • “From the sounds, music, bits of story we get between rounds and the graphics, everything seems to perfectly blend together.”
    • “Love the cosy retro music too, something about this game leaves you feeling satisfied.”
    • “The design and soundtrack pull you in completely.”
    • “Wish there was more music for different waves but otherwise perfect.”

Overall, the streamlined interface and atmosphere strongly support a fun and focused gameplay experience.

    • “As an experimental indie game, this scores a direct hit on atmosphere, engaging gameplay, and a bit of emergent storytelling through telegrams advising you on the successive waves of the imperial German navy battering your defenses.”
    • “The gameplay actually makes you want to improve instead of just memorizing dots and dashes.”
    • “Controls and gameplay are very intuitive, but the difficulty is no slouch either.”

    • “About 13 hours of gameplay and I had beaten expert mode without even pulling up a cheat sheet on my phone.”
    • “I committed to building a telegraph key/arcade button setup and had one up and running within a week - gameplay on a self-built controller is wildly different than a mouse, it adds such a fun layer.”
