  • gameplay
    73 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, arcade-style action that frequently shifts between different mechanics and visual styles, keeping the experience dynamic and engaging. However, many players note that the reliance on memorization and repetition can lead to frustration, as the abrupt introduction of new challenges often requires rote learning rather than skill development. Despite its difficulty, the game is praised for its responsive controls and nostalgic appeal, making it a fun yet challenging experience for players.

    • “The gameplay is actually quite simple and arcadey, but you will die a lot in your first try, similar to playing Cuphead or Hotline Miami.”
    • “I can guarantee that you will never be bored while playing because you are constantly on the edge of your seat with levels taking wild turns and gameplay changes.”
    • “It constantly changes to a different type of run and gun as you play, changing up the visuals and the gameplay style so that the game never feels stale.”
    • “The fact that the gameplay frequently changes its visual style is irrelevant because this concept of avoiding unreactably fast one-hit kill obstacles persists through the entire game, making every stage play essentially the same.”
    • “The obstacles come at me so quickly and new mechanics are so abrupt that you can only progress by rote memorization — even while you get a bit better at movement or shooting, mostly you just die and then take a different turn or shoot somewhere in advance.”
    • “Meaning, even if each chapter introduces a completely new gameplay mechanic, there's not enough time to both learn and apply the skill in each stage until it completely switches things around, making each obstacle unique (and so beatable mostly by memorization of what you're expected to do).”
  • music
    34 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received high praise for its energetic EDM soundtrack, which complements the fast-paced gameplay and enhances the overall experience. While some players feel the soundtrack doesn't perfectly align with the game's theme, it remains enjoyable and engaging, encouraging players to immerse themselves in the action. Additionally, the inclusion of a dedicated track for each stage and the nostalgic retro vibe further elevate the game's appeal.

    • “Wonderful high-action arcade thriller with a great soundtrack.”
    • “The sound effects are good, and the music is fast-paced and fits the fast gameplay very well.”
    • “Looooove the sweet retro art and the music gets your heart pumping before the action even starts.”
    • “But the elevator music theme whenever you pause is probably it for me - I had it on longer than I should've.”
    • “I thought the soundtrack was the only thing that didn’t fit the overall theme, but let’s be honest, it won’t stop you from head banging along even as your character gets thrown off into oncoming traffic and gets a concussion. The OST is strongly EDM and has a dedicated song for each respective stage.”
    • “The elevator music theme whenever you pause is probably it for me - I had it on longer than I should've.”

  • replayability

    • “It changes between different styles of gameplay and it's a really enjoyable and replayable game.”
    • “For $10, it doesn't seem to offer a lot of replayability compared to other games I've played at around the same price, and I wished the game was longer despite its ability to frustrate.”
    • “While a shorter game in terms of length, there's honestly a lot here on offer in terms of replayability.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some appreciate that it offers a full experience without being overly tedious, others find certain stages excessively punishing and tedious, particularly when aiming for 100% achievements.
