The gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics and visual appeal, drawing comparisons to titles like Nuclear Throne. While the mask system introduces unique abilities and synergies, some players find the explanations lacking, and the overall experience can feel limited due to weapon constraints. Despite these drawbacks, many appreciate the fluidity and precision of the gameplay, suggesting that with some adjustments, it could become more enjoyable and rewarding.

- “Pretty graphics and animations, enjoyable gameplay with many slow bullets to dance within, varied perks (in the shape of masks) and weapons to grab and try.”
- “The new gimmick introduced is the mask system, a mechanic that allows players to completely change how their character operates by adding passive and active abilities and switching between them.”

- “Maybe some kind of backup weapon that doesn't run out of bullets or a game mechanic that would help in the 'oops, I'm out of ammo' situation is needed.”
