The game's graphics are characterized by a minimalist, low-polygon style reminiscent of early 1990s 3D games, which some players criticize as a lack of effort disguised as artistic choice. While the main menu and certain visual effects are praised for their quality, the overall aesthetic has been described as chaotic, making it difficult for players to engage with enemy attacks effectively. Despite mixed opinions, some users appreciate the bright and beautiful visuals.
“The visuals are great, didn't get too motion sick until I'd gone all the way through the first track, and that's for someone experienced with the Vive.”
“Graphics and effects look really nice.”
“Bright and beautiful visuals.”
“The lack of textures is a method that lazy developers often use to disguise their lack of talent or interest in doing the graphics properly, trying to pass it off as 'art' or 'we made it look bad on purpose', which really isn't something gamers should have to put up with.”
“Makes the visuals look weird, and it seems harder to hit enemies.”
“Maybe if I turn the graphics down somehow, it'll work better.”

The gameplay is criticized for being repetitive and uninspired, particularly after completing a few laps, leading to a lack of motivation for further play. Reviewers also note confusion and inconsistency in mechanics, with a desire for more polish on enemy interactions and shooting mechanics, which currently feel unreliable. Overall, the game struggles to provide an engaging experience, leaving players feeling underwhelmed.
“I made a video review, showing off the gameplay.”
“I feel like this game needs a bit more polish on the enemies and some of the game mechanics to be more fun.”
“The shooting mechanics need work because you don't really feel like you're aiming reliably.”
“The gameplay gets repetitive after 1/3 laps of a track are completed.”
“There's no reason to do additional laps for more of the same, dull, uninspired gameplay.”
“The gameplay is confusing and inconsistent, and turns out to be not fun once understood.”
