The gameplay features well-designed mechanics and a great art style, though some mechanics lack clear explanations and certain elements, like extra ammo, feel underpowered. The game's short length is appropriate for its design, with added modes providing extended playtime.
- “Great short game with great art style and good mechanics in every level.”
- “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 + endless mode in a game like this.”
