    • “Awful, messy graphics; can hardly aim or see anything.”
    • “The graphics are a little bit too flashy at times, but if it doesn't bother you, the aesthetic is actually quite nice.”

    The gameplay of this roguelike shooter is characterized by its fast-paced, chaotic action that demands constant movement and quick reflexes, creating an addictive loop that encourages repeated playthroughs.

    • “The gameplay is fast and challenging, with the goal of staying alive by constantly moving and shooting.”
    • “The gameplay loop here is genius.”
    • “The graphics are an eyesore, the map design is confusing, and the gameplay is bad.”
    • “Too much flashing that gives me headaches in seconds and gameplay is incredibly repetitive with no variation.”
    • “I know, it's 2 dollars... I know, it has interesting art... overall, this game is nauseating... tight corners, horrible colors and visuals that make your eyes and brain want to barf, and flashing lights that burn your retinas and make you want to puke on the floor, all while having gameplay that surrounds the idea of there being waves, and that you get options, options that don't make that big of a difference, and for the most part gameplay spamming shoot as you run straight forwards down and around a tight hallway... I can't recommend it.”
  • music405 mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its energetic and engaging quality, with many players describing it as a "banger" that enhances the fast-paced gameplay.

    • “Its incredible psychedelic visual style, matched with its weird yet charming enemy designs, great song (yes, one song in the entire game, but it's a damn good song) playing in the background, this game hooks you in from the get-go and drags you deeper with each subsequent run.”
    • “One-note emotionally, same music with almost no break, no up or down monotony.”
    • “Extremely shallow gameplay, visually very appealing but only has one song which gets very very repetitive, the gunplay is the exact same for every gun, most the power ups are useless or boring, really hope this game gets some content updates cause it's promising.”
