Players express disappointment that the gameplay loop remains unchanged beyond level 11, limiting the sense of progression and excitement.

The game's simplistic art style and roguelite elements initially attract players, but some reviewers note significant flaws that could hinder its appeal if not addressed. Additionally, there are suggestions for a shift from pixelated graphics to vector graphics to enhance visual quality, though this is largely a matter of personal preference.
- “When I first stumbled across this game, I was drawn in by the simplistic art style and roguelite elements.”
- “When I first stumbled across this game, I was drawn in by the simplistic art style and roguelite elements; however, SHPR has a few mighty flaws that I can definitely see being deal breakers if they remain unaddressed by the game's official release.”
- “I believe that the game may benefit from vector graphics as opposed to the pixelated style it currently uses. Some of the icons use such high pixel counts that it almost looks like it's trying to look like a vector. This is likely just down to personal preference, however.”
