    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are praised for their unique y2k trippy aesthetic, stunning visuals, and diverse map designs that enhance the overall experience. However, players have noted significant optimization issues, particularly with frame drops during intense moments, which detracts from gameplay despite the appealing art style. Overall, while the aesthetic is charming and distinctive, it could benefit from further polish to improve performance.

    • “The Y2K trippy aesthetic really works well for the game as I haven't seen many other shooters go for it.”
    • “Very stunning visuals and interesting maps to traverse while running from evil entities.”
    • “I get the aesthetic the dev is going for, but it definitely should have had more polish before charging $13.”
    • “But at least this way it can truly be considered part of the 'vapor' aesthetic, as it could easily be considered vaporware.”
    • “This game is very charming in its trippy aesthetic!”
  • music
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised for its cool soundtrack and ability to enhance the overall aesthetic, creating an engaging and eerie atmosphere that complements the gameplay. Reviewers note that the music contributes to the fun and varied experience, making the game both challenging and enjoyable. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature that adds depth to the game's vibe.

    • “The music and movement make the game fun; the stages and weapons keep gameplay varied.”
    • “Decently challenging game with a cool soundtrack and a great aesthetic!”
    • “It has such a cool vibe, with each map and the soundtrack creating an eerie atmosphere; I get parallel universe or alien vibes, which is great.”
  • gameplay
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by straightforward gun mechanics, which many players consider one of the game's strongest features.

    • “The gun mechanics are straightforward, but I think that is one of the best aspects of the game.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, particularly during intense moments with "boss viruses," leading to severe frame drops that render it nearly unplayable, even on high-performance PCs capable of handling more graphically demanding titles.

    • “The game is not optimized; the intense spawns of the 'boss viruses' (and all big viruses) cause severe frame drops that make it unplayable. You just have to hope that you stay alive until the level skips on its own, and this is with a good PC that can handle much graphically heavier games.”
    • “Optimization is a major issue; the game frequently lags during critical moments, making it frustrating to play. Even on high-end systems, the performance is inconsistent.”
    • “I was disappointed with the optimization. The game struggles to maintain a stable frame rate, especially during crowded scenes, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • atmosphere
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is praised for its unique and eerie vibe, enhanced by the diverse maps and haunting soundtrack, evoking feelings of a parallel universe or alien environment.

    • “It has such a cool vibe, with each map and the soundtrack creating an eerie atmosphere. I get parallel universe or alien vibes, which is great.”
    • “The atmosphere feels flat and uninspired, lacking any real depth or immersion.”
    • “Despite the potential, the game fails to create a compelling atmosphere, leaving it feeling lifeless.”
    • “The environments are dull and fail to evoke any sense of wonder or tension, making exploration feel tedious.”
