The gameplay is characterized by a challenging arcade-style shooter experience with unique mechanics, such as using robots as both ammo and lives. While the game is fully functional and presents an interesting story, players have noted issues with arbitrary mechanics that can lead to frustrating instant deaths and a lack of sufficient post-completion content. Overall, the game offers a solid level of challenge and addictiveness once players master its mechanics, but a more forgiving introduction to the controls would enhance the experience.
- “Fully functional, no bugs encountered, an actual story mixed in between a pretty interesting shmup with a couple interesting and unique gameplay mechanics, specifically the single cannon with no movement and the way you use robots as both ammo and lives.”
- “There are 4 types of shooting mechanics, and you layer them all on in this fast-paced, memory recall, twitch-based shoot 'em up.”
- “Nice presentation, solid mechanics, and a good level of challenge.”
- “Not to mention cheap mechanics that insta-kill you for silly arbitrary reasons, like your gun being as likely to kill you as the enemy's.”
- “I cannot recommend the game after finishing it for one reason: not enough gameplay.”
- “Post-completion gameplay exists but was done sloppily.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for being underdeveloped, with only a third of a coherent narrative presented and unclear character motivations. While the gameplay features interesting mechanics, the thematic elements and character backgrounds lack depth, leaving players confused about the overarching plot and its connections to the game's visuals. Overall, the narrative feels incomplete and in need of further refinement.
- “The story is engaging and adds depth to the gameplay, making the experience more immersive and enjoyable.”
- “The narrative intertwines seamlessly with the gameplay, creating a unique blend that keeps players invested.”
- “The character development is well-crafted, allowing players to connect with the story on a personal level.”
- “Stealing their only character from SteamWorld Dig, poor menus, 1/3 of a story, and only one control.”
- “The theme and story need some work; I still don't know who the game-over alien is or why he's consoling me, or the robot in the title screen, or why there's a western-ish flavor to the artwork.”

- “I love how the soundtrack sets the mood and keeps me engaged throughout the gameplay.”
- “The variety of music tracks keeps things fresh and exciting, making each level feel unique.”
