Plasma Attack delivers an adrenaline-fueled gaming experience with intense action and innovative mechanics.
The game features simple but nice graphics, a decent soundtrack, and addictive gameplay that appeals to fans of classic shooters.
The combination of fast-paced combat and strategic decision-making creates a challenging and satisfying experience.

The player hitbox is excessively large, making evasion difficult and often leading to unfair deaths.
There is a lack of variety in enemy types and patterns, resulting in repetitive gameplay across the biomes.
The game feels like a low-quality cash grab, lacking professional development and offering little incentive for replayability.

The gameplay is characterized as a side-scrolling shooter with a mix of intense action and innovative mechanics, though some players find the slow time mechanic initially challenging. While the game features addictive gameplay and simple graphics, it can feel slow at times, particularly when transitioning between biomes, and lacks a variety of patterns to learn. Overall, it offers a unique experience that balances excitement with moments of pacing.

- “Simple old school graphics, addictive gameplay.”
- “There are not very many patterns to learn, and the gameplay can feel very slow at times just to get to the next biome.”
- “At first, I thought the slow time mechanic was unusable, but it is actually decent if you use it in advance and strongly over-correct during your movement (because, as I said, your hitbox is enormous, actually larger than the on-screen character it seems).”
- “There are not very many patterns to learn, and the gameplay can feel very slow at times just to get to the next biome.”

The monetization of Plasma Attack is criticized as a blatant cash grab, with reviewers describing it as a poorly executed game that appears to be hastily produced using a template, lacking originality and quality. Players are advised to avoid it due to its exploitative nature.
- “Plasma Attack is a 'template flip'; it's a game that has been produced by copying a game template, filling out forms in GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, and then dumping the barely functional product on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
- “This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab and should be avoided.”
