    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 graphics are simple and old-school, the gameplay can feel slow at times, particularly when transitioning between biomes, and there are limited patterns to learn. Overall, it offers an addictive experience that some players find electrifying.

    • “The gameplay in Plasma Attack is nothing short of electrifying.”
    • “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 created by simply modifying a template. The consensus is that it lacks originality and quality, making it a product to avoid.

    • “This is nothing but a lazy, greedy cash grab and should be avoided.”
    • “Plasma Attack is a 'template flip', that is to say, it's a 'game' that has been produced by copying a game template, filling out forms in GameMaker Studio, changing a few things, then dumping the barely functional 'product' on Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
