Beautiful graphics with a stylish retro-futuristic design.
The energy blaster feels powerful and adds a unique gameplay element.
The Synthwave soundtrack complements the visual style nicely.

Gameplay is monotonous and lacks challenge, with levels feeling repetitive.
Very little content, with only 6 levels and no story or enemies.
Feels like a cash grab with minimal development effort and substance.

The graphics received mixed reviews, with some users finding them acceptable while others criticized them as poorly executed, resembling a low-quality blend of 16-bit and neon styles. However, a few players appreciated the visuals, highlighting their beauty and originality in certain gameplay elements. Overall, the graphics seem to be a divisive aspect of the game.

- “Graphics are completely terrible neon style... I don't know how else to describe it.”
- “It's like they were going for 2D pixel art but weren't competent enough to manage that, resulting in a kind of 16-bit graphics blended with a talentless, can't-afford-an-actual-artist style.”
