The gameplay is praised for its fun, arcade-style shooting mechanics featuring water guns, with a fast-paced combat system that evokes nostalgia for classic titles like Quake and Unreal Tournament. Players appreciate the unique character abilities and weapon mechanics, although some express frustration with the game's setup, which may hinder the overall enjoyment. Despite its potential for fun in small groups, the game's player base appears to be dwindling.
“Great concept, super fun arcadey shooting mechanics but with water guns.”
“Although I have only 28 hours on the game, I have picked up the game mechanics fast and they are pretty good. The fact that you can jump with the explosive-based weapons is nice, allowing a player to make really awesome plays for clips. The game might be dead, but it would be good for a small group of friends to play together.”
“The game has a great idea of gameplay, with characters that have their own abilities, interesting weapon mechanics, and fast-paced combat. Sometimes it gives you some Quake and Unreal Tournament vibes.”

“The developer gambled that other players would be an acceptable substitute for adding storytelling, level design, etc. to the game.”
“Would even welcome mission maps and capture the flag!”
