The gameplay is characterized by 2D sci-fi/action levels where players navigate and shoot at opponents using mouse controls.

- “Easily identifiable as a flash game but with even less quality gameplay.”
- “Also, they might be faking this whole art, like for example the Steam picture and the amazing looking pictures; it doesn't fit at all in a flash game with side-scrolling gameplay.”
- “Note that the TDP series is still going; there's already a TDP5 out being experimented with in Unity3D, and it's still the same old side-scrolling shooter gameplay.”
