Fast-paced, smooth, and exhilarating movement system reminiscent of Mirror's Edge, Jet Set Radio, and Neon White, offering player expression and momentum-based gameplay.
Unique mechanic of using graffiti-based powers (tags) that can be mixed and matched in each hand, providing versatile movement and combat options.
Stylish, vibrant Y2K/cyberpunk art style combined with an engaging soundtrack that complements the game's aesthetic and rebellious tone.

Combat is generally considered underdeveloped, frustrating, and unrewarding, with enemies swarming and limited counterplay.
Control and movement can feel slippery and floaty, leading to frequent falls that are particularly punishing during tight, time-sensitive challenges.
Limited resolution support and technical issues such as forced mouse filtering, low field of view, no support above 1080p, and lack of quality-of-life features like a mini-map or reliable mission waypoints.

The gameplay features unique and engaging mechanics centered around graffiti-based powers and parkour-style movement, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience. While the combat and narrative receive mixed reactions, the core platforming and upgrade systems are generally praised for their depth and accessibility, despite some frustrations with controls and certain mechanics like the heat system.
- “The gameplay is rock-solid, graffiti powers are pretty unique and fun to use, and the game is accessible enough to complete without too much hassle, but challenging enough to leave more dedicated gamers wanting more... gameplay is surprisingly dense, a tougher learning curve rewards trial and error.”
- “Really interesting world and mechanics I've never seen in this genre.”
- “Each skill can be upgraded four times to gain very valuable perks that make the gameplay more enjoyable.”
- “What should have felt like a seamless platforming experience with unique mechanics ends up getting hindered by horrendously slippery controls.”
- “The thing is, the narrative goes to the wayside in favor of the gameplay, but the gameplay isn't anything worth writing home about, either.”
- “While there’s an upgrade that does this for free, the mechanic is not fun because it forces you to go back and watch loading screens.”

The story is humorously toned and features interesting resistance members, providing an entertaining but not groundbreaking plot. Mission progression can feel repetitive and occasionally frustrating due to time constraints and the need to frequently adjust powers. Exploration is engaging, though some quests feel chore-like, with only main missions posing significant challenges.
- “I'm still progressing through the story with a lower skill level, which is really nice.”
- “Each resistance member is interesting to talk to because they are unique, and the general tone of the story is humorous.”
- “Keeps you very invested even when you aren't in a mission.”
- “But you have to complete missions in a tight time to get many disc.”
- “So much of your time will be starting a mission, realizing your two equipped powers are ill-suited for it, going off to get more fitting powers, and then starting the mission again.”
- “Most of my health was not sapped by the in-game enemies that only show up when you start breaking things in an otherwise barren world, but the fact my character had the zoomies and could not help but overshoot and fall off the buildings constantly, making the tight time-sensitive NPC quests feel like a chore to accomplish.”
