The gameplay is generally described as charming and fun, particularly appealing to casual gamers with its smooth mechanics and co-op potential. However, it faces criticism for lacking challenge and variety, with uninspiring power-ups and a repetitive loop that can lead to boredom. While some appreciate the aesthetic and the overall design, others find the gameplay frustrating due to long wait times between attempts and a lack of engaging content.
- “The design overall is charming and gameplay is fun.”
- “I'm sure this isn't going to be challenging for any serious shmup players, but for something that is clearly a passion project like this, it is serious about its gameplay.”
- “I love the aesthetic, the gameplay seems solid enough, and I think it would be especially fun in co-op.”
- “The gameplay itself needs help.”
- “Uninspiring power-ups and a gameplay loop that gets boring fast... die, try again from the very start, die, try again from the very start.”
- “Too painful to wait between each try for something so basic and finally not that funny considering the poverty of its videos and its gameplay.”

The game's graphics are praised for their authentic 1950s horror and sci-fi aesthetic, effectively capturing the era's vibe with playful, puppet-like art and engaging visuals. However, some players note that the muted color palette can make it challenging to identify enemy ships and projectiles during intense moments. Overall, the visuals are a standout feature, enhancing the game's charm despite some minor gameplay visibility issues.
- “Nailing the vibe with the in-game visuals, but the FMV/voice acting are just the right level of '50s hokey.”
- “I was drawn in by the aesthetic (huge fan of 50's horror and sci-fi movies), but I stayed for the challenge.”
- “The aesthetic is amazing, that 1950s feel is done perfectly.”
- “The aesthetic makes it hard to identify the enemy ships and bullets when so much is going on with the same muted color palette.”
- “My main complaint is not enough indicators when things are coming from behind; they like to explode on you and that makes a mess and it's not great.”
- “I didn't think from the playful, puppet-like art style that it would be difficult, but it is for a demo.”
