The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring a visually chaotic experience with mechanics like splitting and bouncing bullets that can overwhelm players. While it effectively combines genre elements and offers a leveling system reminiscent of "Vampire Survivors," some players find the controls imprecise, particularly regarding character movement limitations compared to enemy behavior. Overall, the core gameplay has been criticized as weak despite its engaging mechanics.
“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.”
“The core gameplay is just weak.”
“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 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 sense of humor, with a protagonist reminiscent of iconic action movie characters delivering amusing catchphrases that often elicit laughter. Additionally, the inclusion of various movie references adds to its comedic charm, making it an entertaining experience for players.
“This cheap little game is a roguelike bullet hell, where you control a guy on his motorcycle, who's been obviously inspired by Schwarzenegger in Terminator movies, making asinine but sometimes funny catchphrases - couldn't repress a giggle while hearing some, and the devs seem to have included some other movie references in these, like Pulp Fiction.”
