The gameplay is fast-paced and challenging, making it ideal for competitive gamers. Players appreciate the well-integrated mechanics that allow for fluid movement and easy aiming, contributing to a high skill ceiling. As players gain experience, they find navigation and character control become more intuitive, enhancing the overall gaming experience.
- “The gameplay is definitely challenging, which I think makes it perfect for competitive gamers.”
- “The mechanics all fit together, and give an incredibly fast movement if used correctly. When combined with the easy aiming system, the skill ceiling seems infinite.”
- “Gameplay is fast-paced, but the layout is well thought out. The level design was such that once I had a little experience under my belt, I was able to navigate the arena with significantly more ease, and the control of my character and the aiming mechanism felt more fluid than they did initially.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with many users describing them as low-quality, amateurish, and laughably bad, featuring simplistic and rough 3D assets. While some acknowledge the limitations typical of an indie game from a small team, others find the graphics to be charming in their simplicity. Overall, expectations for visual quality should be tempered given the game's indie status.
- “The graphics are simplistic and adorable.”
- “The graphics aren't great; they're laughably bad with amateurish 3D assets and low-poly designs. At least I don't think this is asset flipped, because the assets look too poor for any self-respecting asset creator to try to sell them.”
- “The visuals are disappointing, lacking detail and polish. It feels like a game from a decade ago, with textures that are bland and uninspired.”
- “Overall, the graphics are subpar, making it hard to immerse myself in the game. The character models and environments look outdated and poorly designed.”
