Fast-paced and fluid gameplay with a wide variety of weapons and abilities, making each encounter unique and engaging.
Impressive soundtrack that enhances the action and keeps the player motivated throughout the game.
Quirky and humorous story with a fun setting that doesn't take itself too seriously, providing a refreshing alternative to more philosophical shooters.

Encountered game-breaking bugs, particularly during critical moments like boss fights, although the developer was responsive in addressing issues.
Some design choices, such as enemy positioning and the distribution of power items, feel illogical and could use refinement.
Dialogue can be clunky and unoriginal, which detracts from the overall experience, even if the game is not primarily focused on storytelling.
