The gameplay features a mix of simple mechanics and engaging elements, such as epic boss battles and a unique upgrade system that keeps each level fresh. However, some players feel that the game lacks adequate explanations for core mechanics, particularly regarding combos, and suggest adjustments to the ultimate shot mechanics for better balance. Overall, while the gameplay is enjoyable, clearer guidance and some tweaks could enhance the experience.
“The game has some wonderful elements of gameplay.”
“Highlight of the game is the epic bosses which are extremely well done graphically and mechanically.”
“Clever mechanic of choosing amongst 3 randomly presented passive or active upgrades after each level keeps the play fresh and I can't always get what I want.”
“I'm fine with a game not holding your hand, but not explaining core mechanics like how the combos work is taking the whole thing a little too far for my taste.”
“Would like the ultimate shots to come more often, maybe change the mechanic that drives them (like using combos to earn your ultimate meter instead of the orange orbs).”
“The gameplay is simple (although you might want to change the fire key to spacebar like I did) and the music is dope.”
