The story is described as quirky and charming, but it suffers from brevity and a lack of coherence, with many missions feeling disconnected from the overall narrative. Players have noted that the missions are simplistic, often revolving around single-target kills with minimal context, and the current content is limited, taking only about 15 minutes to complete. Additionally, there are concerns about insufficient guidance during missions and issues with voice acting, leading to a generally unfavorable impression of the story aspect until more content is released.
“The levels are short, the story is quirky but has its charms and the gun mechanics feel pretty solid.”
“There are a handful of missions (single targets), where you are given a clue about the individual and you either find and kill them, or fail and retry.”
“The story mode is done in some minutes and you have to look only for some specific people to shoot them, so you need more time to find the people - not really a story!”
“Bad voice acting... impossible to aim with iron sights... bad story... not worth it.”
“I played what was available and it took about 15 minutes to finish the tutorial and current story content (maybe 6 quick missions?).”

The gameplay features short levels with a quirky story that adds charm, complemented by solid gun mechanics reminiscent of classic shooting games. While the shooting mechanics are basic and the graphical style is average, the overall experience is enjoyable, despite some primitive animations.

“This game is pretty fun; it has the gun mechanics of Duck Hunt but the play style of Hitman.”
“The shooting mechanic is pretty basic, the graphical style is okay, but the animation is very primitive (the car slides around unnaturally like it's on ice as it follows a path). The voice acting is fine for this sort of thing.”

The graphics have been criticized for their poor quality, with primitive animations and basic visual style that detract from the overall experience. Users noted issues with tracking and described the gameplay as lacking, particularly highlighting unnatural vehicle movement. While the voice acting received some praise, it does not compensate for the overall graphical shortcomings.
