The gameplay is characterized by an easy-to-learn yet challenging experience, featuring a "flappy bird" style gravity and jump mechanic. Players navigate through levels by defeating enemies and avoiding hazards, utilizing a unique color-coded shooting system that adds depth and innovation to the traditional 2D run-and-gun format. Overall, the combination of engaging mechanics and a fun aesthetic makes for an enjoyable gaming experience.
“The shooting mechanics are the interesting bit, where you have different colored bullets and can only defeat enemies or obstacles of that color.”
“This game offers fun 2D run and gun gameplay, and the novel color-based shooting mechanic gives it a unique touch.”
“The gameplay is easy to learn and hard to master, yet it never feels like you have to 'do it again' too often.”
“The gameplay consists of getting to the end of the level while defeating enemies and avoiding dangers such as spikes.”
“'Flappy Bird'-like gravity and jump mechanics make the gameplay feel frustratingly simplistic.”
