Clever use of a Plinko-style board for earning money from ores, making the gameplay engaging.
Short but enjoyable experience, perfect for passing time without overstaying its welcome.

The game is too short, typically completed in about 3-4 hours.

The humor in the game is characterized by clever achievement names and amusing gameplay mechanics, such as exaggerated fire rates and lootbox buffs that lead to comical scenarios. Players find the humor to be a relaxing and enjoyable aspect, contributing to an overall fun experience that justifies the game's value.
- “Jokes aside, the buffs from the lootboxes do allow for infinite scaling on firerate, ore plinko score zones, etc. (score zone multipliers at least go beyond 100x.) It gets pretty funny having a base gun firerate faster than the chaingun ammo (though that does tear through your fuel even with all the upgrades).”
- “Exactly what you expect, funny achievement names and everything, quite relaxing, loved it!”
