The gameplay is severely flawed, with a broken jumping mechanic and repetitive asset usage, leading to a frustrating experience. Additionally, promised controls for weapon firing are nonexistent, further detracting from the overall playability.
“The programming is utterly broken - the single, solitary mechanic in the game (jumping on platforms) does not work.”
“The assets are used ad nauseam, and there are controls listed that are absolutely not in the game at all (apparently, there are three different types of weapon firing controls you can map... only this is not a mechanic in the game).”
“The gameplay feels unpolished and frustrating, with numerous bugs that hinder the overall experience.”

The game is a brief platformer that lacks a narrative, offering only a simple gameplay experience with minimal story elements.
“Fun game, 5-minute completion with death, but it's just a little platformer with no story.”
“The narrative feels disjointed and lacks depth, making it hard to connect with the characters.”
“I was expecting a rich storyline, but instead, I got a series of bland missions with no real plot.”
