The gameplay is characterized by methodical movement and punishing mechanics, emphasizing survival in a bullet hell environment. While it features simple yet unique twin-stick controls, the game offers a solid experience with a charming 1-bit art style and chiptune music. Players can expect around an hour of initial gameplay, with additional content such as multiple endings, extra modes, and challenging achievements to enhance replayability.
