“The core gameplay mechanics are solid, and the shooting mechanics feel satisfying.”

The game's story has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its intriguing blend of dark themes and cute characters, while others criticize it for borrowing heavily from existing narratives like Half-Life 2. Many find the plot twists engaging and the overall presentation of the science fiction story compelling, contributing to a sense of curiosity about the game's world. However, there are concerns about the game's shift from a lighthearted multiplayer experience to a more serious tone, which some players feel detracts from the fun.
“I really like the mix of the cute characters with the darkness of the story and the game itself.”
“So far, it's a very interesting story, I want to know more about this world.”
“The beginning of the game (as well as mid-game) has nice plot twists that make a simple story much more entertaining and gives you a clear idea of what you are doing and why.”
“What was once a fun and cute 2D multiplayer arena game has now become a boring, buggy, and overly serious game that essentially just uses the story from Half-Life 2.”
“I already have a jetpack and my quest is to craft one, but I can't.”
“The story is dark but also cute at the same time, just how I like it.”
