Fun and engaging gameplay, especially enjoyable with friends during game nights.
Nostalgic experience that brings back memories of classic arcade games.
Gyro aiming is a decent alternative to traditional controls, allowing for a unique shooting experience.

Controls are often unresponsive and suffer from significant drift, making gameplay frustrating.
The game is relatively short, with a lack of depth in gameplay modes.
Many players reported issues with the gyro aiming constantly misaligning, leading to a poor overall experience.
