  • gameplay
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced action that demands quick reflexes, with a variety of levels and gameplay mutators that enhance replayability. While the core mechanics are simple and can feel repetitive over time, the inclusion of per-level missions, boss battles, and customization options adds depth and variety. However, some players find the gameplay confusing initially, and the overall experience may lack depth for longer sessions.

    • “The numerous levels have a lot to offer, but the gameplay mutators add even more variety to the play.”
    • “Beyond regular gameplay, there are also per-level missions, a speed run timer, and planetary bosses.”
    • “Gameplay wise it is a top-down scroller, but with several factors affecting it, it becomes more by opening up ways for different play styles; unlockables and varied enemy types will allow you freedom of play where speed is not the only solution to every situation, nor is it the best.”
    • “There's only one mode of gameplay, and there are plenty of problems with it.”
    • “The gameplay feels a bit confusing at some points after about an hour of gameplay, but the game itself seems really polished.”
    • “The basic core gameplay does work, but its lack of variety will hurt over a period of time, despite having a little bit of creative objectives.”
  • music
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its retro style and ability to enhance the overall gaming experience, particularly in creating a fun and exciting atmosphere. However, some players noted that the limited selection of unlockable tracks can lead to repetitiveness over time, detracting from the enjoyment. Overall, while the soundtrack is a highlight for many, its repetitive nature and occasional mismatch with the game's aesthetic were points of contention.

    • “Love the soundtracks.”
    • “The pixel graphics and in-game humor are few of the charming things of the game, but one of the biggest selling points for me is the soundtrack (to all the music composers, hats off to you guys) which made the whole gaming experience very fun and at times, exciting and challenging.”
    • “The music is awesome and retro, along with the design.”
    • “The music was okay but clearly royalty-free melodies; the CRT filter was on the grating side, and the general tone and setting of the game universe felt a bit contrived.”
    • “Limited choice of unlockable music: it's a con because after a while, the music you hear all the time starts to get irritating.”
    • “Music doesn't suit the aesthetic here.”
  • story
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and often repetitive, primarily consisting of straightforward missions across three planets with various biomes. While the core narrative lacks depth, humorous dialogues between characters add some charm, and the inclusion of diverse objectives and arcade mode helps maintain player interest. Overall, the story serves more as a backdrop to the gameplay rather than a focal point.

    • “The story is good.”
    • “At the end of each planet is a boss with its own mechanics to beat; defeat each boss to unlock the next planet and ultimately complete story mode.”
    • “There are many different sorts of quests to keep the game interesting despite the repetitive core gameplay; funny dialogue between diver and buddy; a ton of mods to actually change the core gameplay a bit.”
    • “The story missions are easy but get repetitive.”
    • “The story missions don't bring anything much to the table, because it's mostly the same missions over and over.”
    • “While there’s not much of a story in the game, there is dialogue between the buddy and the diver before the start of each level, and it’s often rather amusing.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

However, some users feel that the in-game visuals do not live up to the appealing artwork seen in promotional materials, citing a lack of polish and style. Overall, while the pixelized graphics contribute positively to the experience, opinions on their execution vary.

    • “Colorful, appealing retro graphics that look like they are displayed on an analogue TV screen.”

    • “I disliked the graphics which lack style and polishing, in my opinion.”

Overall, the humor is a significant highlight, contributing to the game's fun and entertaining vibe.
