- “The story is good and the main character is pretty good for the theme so far.”

The gameplay draws heavily from classic 2D GTA titles and offers a fun core loop, though it is often described as clunky, difficult to control, and plagued by bugs.

Overall, the gameplay shows promise but requires refinement.
- “I'm loving the concept, gameplay and execution.”

- “The prologue was fun and some nice mechanics are present in the game, good job!”
- “So many bugs and very difficult controls, but I love the concept and I love the gameplay.”
- “Then there's various mechanics which just don't work well for me.”
