The gameplay is characterized by a unique item and spell automation mechanic that adds variety to each run, making it engaging and addictive. However, some players feel that the combat lacks depth and impact, with basic mechanics and an annoying overheat feature detracting from the overall experience. While the game is praised for its pixel art and music, many note that it feels more like a demo than a complete game, with a desire for an endless mode and more substantial content.
- “Fun game with a fairly unique item mechanic.”
- “The gameplay mechanic is so unique in terms of conditional automation of spells.”
- “I like its unique spell building mechanic that makes each run different.”
- “Great game, but it's not a full game, just a demo. Still great pixel art, good music, addictive mechanics, but the runs are short. I would have loved an endless mode.”
- “Basically, the mechanics are as basic as can be (and several are, near as I can tell, completely pointless). The combat lacks any sort of punch or interest, the unlocks are meh, and on and on.”
- “The overheat mechanic is annoying.”

The graphics are generally well-received, featuring decent visuals and a variety of spell effects that enhance the experience. However, the abundance of graphical activity can sometimes obscure important gameplay elements like attacks and health potions, suggesting a need for better visual clarity amidst the chaos. Overall, the artwork and user interface are praised, contributing positively to the game's aesthetic.
- “The game has decent visuals, and there are many spells that even after 4 hours of playing, I still have not seen them all.”
- “Reverse bullet clone with good artwork and UI.”
- “The sheer amount of graphical activity creates a vibrant experience, though it can sometimes make it difficult to see attacks, gems, and health potions.”
- “The sheer amount of graphical activity can hinder your ability to see attacks, gems, and health potions. It would be good to have some precedence set in place for being able to see those things on top of the fireworks display that is your spell combos.”
- “While the game has decent visuals, the overwhelming number of spells can make it difficult to appreciate them fully, even after several hours of play.”
