The gameplay features a mix of genres, combining fast-paced twin-stick shooter mechanics with a leveling system reminiscent of games like Vampire Survivors, all while navigating on a bike. However, some players find the core mechanics weak and visually overwhelming due to the chaotic bullet patterns, and there are concerns about imprecision in character control, particularly regarding vertical movement limitations.
“A game that mixes genres to great effect, with a leveling system similar to Vampire Survivors and the fast-paced twin-stick shooter mechanics of classic games such as Binding of Isaac and Hotline Miami, all while traversing on a bike.”
“As for the gameplay, what weirded me out at first is that I had the impression it was a bit imprecise; I got used to controlling the character afterwards, but what may have given me that impression was that weirdly, while some monsters can reach the vertical extremities of the highway, well you can't!”
“The core gameplay is just weak.”
“The mechanics of splitting, piercing, and bouncing bullets create a visually overwhelming experience where the entire screen becomes a storm of bullets.”

The game features a lighthearted and humorous tone, with a protagonist reminiscent of iconic characters from films like *Terminator* and *Pulp Fiction*. Players appreciate the amusing catchphrases and clever movie references, which add a layer of entertainment to the roguelike bullet hell experience.
“This cheap little game is a roguelike bullet hell, where you control a guy on his motorcycle, who's obviously inspired by Schwarzenegger in the Terminator movies, making asinine but sometimes funny catchphrases. I couldn't help but giggle while hearing some, and the devs seem to have included other movie references in these, like Pulp Fiction.”
