The graphics of the game are primarily described as voxel-based, which some players found interesting and colorful, while others considered them to be merely okay or even shoddy without high expectations. Overall, the visuals received mixed reviews, with some praising their charm in a simplistic shooter/platformer context, while others felt they did not meet higher standards.
“The voxel-based graphics were an interesting take, I will admit.”
“Great game, great graphics.”
“This is the link to my full YouTube review, but if you just want a brief review: bad controls, bad story, okay but highly repetitive music, and okay graphics.”
“Let me just say that this game can be easily beaten in one sitting. This game is not worth the full price of 5 dollars. I bought this game for 99 cents and in 30 minutes (maybe less), I was able to zoom through half this game in literally no time. If anything, this game is fun if you like basic and easy platforming games and you love 3D pixel graphics.”
“Very simplistic shooter/platformer with colorful graphics.”

The story has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many reviewers describing it as terrible and lacking coherence, often feeling repetitive and poorly executed. While some comparisons to thought-provoking titles like Bioshock and Deus Ex were made, the consensus is that the narrative fails to engage, with absurd plot points and a lack of a clear storyline. Overall, the story detracts significantly from the gaming experience.
“The story transcends reality and makes you think as much as BioShock or Deus Ex.”
“But I have to say the story of this game is friggin terrible. You're out hunting and you're like, 'Damn, I miss my guns.' Then you go home to find your guns were stolen by the dumbest cast of final bosses I've ever seen.”
“The levels can feel very repetitive, with each character being spammed in the world every few feet, and it has no exact storyline. Not saying all games need one, but this one sure could have had a storyline to make it better!”
“Cons: ridiculous checkpoints, easy levels, easy boss battles, rubbish story.”

The music in the game received mixed reviews, with some players enjoying the catchy tunes, particularly in the beach level and the cute main menu theme, while others found the music to be repetitive and lacking quality. Overall, opinions vary significantly, highlighting a divide between those who appreciated the nostalgic elements and those who criticized the overall execution.
“The music on the main menu was rather cute too, so yeah, the music was good in this one.”
“I will say that I enjoyed the music in the game.”
“Also, no offense, the music was kind of bad.”
“The music was highly repetitive, which detracted from the overall experience.”
“The last level (a beach level) had music that really reminded me of the ship theme from Final Fantasy 1 (NES).”

The gameplay features a unique voxel art style and an interesting health mechanic where players can lose and regain body parts, using meat pickups as currency. While some players enjoy the casual nature and simple controls, others find the gameplay lacks challenge, though the guns and boss encounters provide enjoyable moments. Overall, it balances fun mechanics with a laid-back experience.
“I appreciate the mechanic of meat pickups being your currency to continue.”
“Love the gameplay, the guns, the challenging but fun jump and bosses.”
“It has novel voxel art and a nifty health mechanic where you lose parts of yourself and can regain them (hat, hair).”
“But now gameplay...”

Character development has been criticized for its lack of originality, with repetitive backgrounds and inconsistent character designs for both protagonists and antagonists, leading to a disjointed and unengaging experience.
“The same stretch of background with the same trees reused constantly makes the world feel stale, and the character design for both the protagonist and foes doesn't make sense.”
“The character development is lacking, as the reused backgrounds and inconsistent character designs detract from the overall experience.”
“The repetitive environments and nonsensical character designs hinder any meaningful character development.”
