    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the clean art style and fancy lighting, others criticize the low-quality low poly visuals and occasional stuttering. The visuals can enhance the experience, but issues like enemy bullet visibility and inconsistent performance may detract from overall enjoyment.

    • “Nice clean art style, with fancy lighting.”
    • “Graphics: 8/10 points”
    • “This features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably.”

    • “In some levels, the graphics stutter a bit, while in other levels it runs smoothly.”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally praised for its suitability to the puzzle elements and its integration with visuals, but it suffers from a lack of variety and monotony, leading to repetitive listening during gameplay. Many players find the music too simplistic and repetitive, especially given the game's challenging nature that requires frequent level restarts. Overall, while the music has potential, it needs improvement to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “Great music, amazing visuals, and neat sound effects.”
    • “Nice music that suits the puzzle elements of the game.”
    • “Actually really enjoyed it; glad it was free, but it's probably worth a bit of money if new levels are added and some minor things are fixed and changed (music continuous rather than broken up on each new level).”
    • “Unfortunately, the music is too monotone.”
    • “This game is not easy to beat, and so you have to repeat the levels in a relatively short interval - and each time you hear the same music and the same start of the music.”
    • “All in all, there's not much variety in the music, in the sounds, in the enemies, in the shooting.”
