The music features a unique "jazz western" style that effectively complements the gambling gameplay, enhancing the overall experience. Reviewers praise the soundtrack as engaging and memorable, contributing to the game's replay value and lively presentation.
- “It has such a cool “jazz western” style, perfect for spending 1-2 hours with gambling fun and banger music.”
- “Holy Christ, the soundtrack is so good.”
- “You'd think there's no way combining rock-paper-scissors with various gambling elements would add room for strategy, and yet here we are - I can see myself coming back to the endless mode every now and then, helped by Polar Star's presentation. The music is great, the animations are expressive and varied while still being very readable, which is extremely important later in the game.”

The gameplay offers interesting mechanics but lacks clear explanations, particularly for features like swapping. Some mechanics, such as extra ammo, feel underpowered and could use improvements. Overall, the game’s length is appropriate for its design, balancing a concise main experience with additional endless mode content.
- “Some mechanics could be explained better (no idea how swap works).”
- “Some mechanics could be buffed (extra ammo is useless, especially with slot).”
- “The length makes sense though, even with the mechanics you did add to the game I can't imagine more than 3 days plus endless mode in a game like this.”
