The music in the game is praised for its lovely soundtrack that enhances the overall experience, contributing to an engaging dopamine loop. Players appreciate how the mood-shifting music and sound direction elevate the gameplay, similar to other titles known for their strong audio elements.
“The soundtrack is lovely, as always in Low Polystan!”
“I enjoy games with a great dopamine loop (Post Void, Hotline Miami, Isaac), which is greatly assisted by mood-shifting music and sound direction.”

The gameplay has been criticized for its challenging jumping mechanic, which some players find difficult to master and feel may require re-evaluation or balancing. Despite having a limited control scheme, the jumping feature seems to hinder the overall experience for certain users.
“The gameplay mechanics are engaging and require a good balance of skill and strategy.”
“I appreciate the simplicity of the controls; it makes the game accessible while still offering depth.”
“The jumping mechanic adds an interesting layer to the gameplay, though it may take some time to master.”
“I found jumping to be a very difficult mechanic that you probably have to avoid using altogether.”
“The controls feel unresponsive, making it frustrating to execute basic actions.”
“The gameplay is repetitive and lacks variety, leading to a dull experience.”

The graphics are praised for their unique aesthetic, featuring cute and rounded tank designs that contrast with the serious theme of war, providing a visually appealing and less realistic representation.
“I like the overall aesthetic — the war is happening right now in the world, so I'm glad that your tanks are cute and round, and not exactly realistic.”
