    • “The fast-paced shooting combined with the grappling grab mechanic creates polished, fun gameplay with an interesting setting.”

    The game's graphics feature a vibrant and original art style that suits its scope well, though there are no options to adjust graphical settings. Performance issues like frame rate drops were noted, especially on low-spec PCs, indicating a need for optimization. Overall, while graphics may not be cutting-edge, they effectively complement the fun gameplay and simple story.

    • “Its a good game, the graphics are vibrant, all the weapons are useful and fun and the story, though simple, has a lot of good things going for it.”
    • “The graphics were as good as they needed to be, and it has a simple background music soundtrack.”
    • “The game can be finished in 10 mins top but the gameplay is fun, the artstyle is original and honestly for a small project that's already great.”
    • “No built-in controller support and no way to adjust graphics.”
    • “Easy to play, too slow story scenes, and no graphic settings. I don't know if the main graphics are low or high, but sometimes I got 30 fps and dropped to 15. I hope you can optimize it for low spec PC.”
