    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a unique platform gun mechanic that adds depth and fun, despite some rough edges in movement and level design. While the visuals are considered subpar, the core mechanics and engaging puzzles evoke nostalgia and offer a compelling experience. Overall, players appreciate the innovative gameplay, though they note areas for improvement.

    • “I really like the platform gun mechanic, and the atmosphere of the game is actually really cool and mysterious. It reminds me of the flash games I used to play as a kid and also of Super Metroid.”
    • “The ride and speeding up bullets mechanic is used in a lot of different ways.”
    • “The puzzles are awesome, the background music is great! I love the simple mechanic of the platform gun.”
    • “The movement is really fun, but it's a bit rough around the edges with the puzzles being more about remembering a network of gates and batteries (timed buttons) rather than solving an actual puzzle. The mechanics and level design can be improved; you sometimes fall through platforms for seemingly no reason, especially on very steep ones, and some spots are really awkward where you need just a bit more than a full jump height of vertical movement. However, the concept has a lot of potential and leaves you wanting more.”
    • “The graphics are terrible, sure, but the core mechanics are fun.”
    • “Anyway, the game's really cool, although the visuals aren't that great, the gameplay is incredible.”
