  • music
    86 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, with many users praising its fantastic soundtrack that features core guitars, heavy beats, and a retro vibe that perfectly complements the gameplay. The high-energy tracks enhance the chaotic battles and overall experience, making it a standout feature that keeps players engaged and motivated. Despite some minor issues with volume control, the music is consistently described as a key element that elevates the game's atmosphere and enjoyment.

    • “The high-energy music matches the game's pace and enhances the overall experience.”
    • “The soundtrack alone is worth the money.”
    • “Excellent music!!!”
    • “Oh, and the fact I can't turn down the music in the game....”
    • “Nothing changed in terms of graphics or soundtrack: it's still the same.”
    • “Same music, same layout, camera still too close to the camera, that shake every time you shoot is also still the absolute worst and very distracting and not helping.”
  • gameplay
    74 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, fluid mechanics that are well-suited for short play sessions, enhanced by stylish retro graphics and a fitting soundtrack. However, many players find the experience becomes repetitive over time, with core mechanics feeling predictable and monotonous, despite the introduction of new elements like the brainclap mechanic. While the game offers intense moments and replayability, its limited variety and minimal story may detract from long-term engagement.

    • “The gameplay is great, quick, and entirely replayable for a couple of minutes of fun twin-stick challenge.”
    • “This game is truly bullet hell (veterans of the genre need to try the 'hardboiled' mode) but with an interesting game mechanic added that takes the gameplay beyond simply dodging enemy projectiles.”
    • “2D 16-bit retro graphics that look decent, with superb music that just fits the game like a glove, and fluid and rapid gameplay that is excellent for short bursts of playtime - in that note, works wonderfully on the Steam Deck.”
    • “The gameplay itself feels too predictable, which makes it less engaging.”
    • “However, the minimal story and repetitive gameplay might reduce its long-term appeal.”
    • “Nearly no game at all, just the tired shooter survival mechanic seen in hundreds of other games.”
  • graphics
    44 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by stylish, retro-inspired 2D 16-bit visuals that complement its fast-paced gameplay, creating an engaging aesthetic experience. While some users noted minor graphical glitches and a lack of significant updates from previous versions, the overall presentation is deemed decent and fitting for the game's arcade style. The combination of visuals and music enhances the enjoyment, particularly on platforms like the Steam Deck.

    • “The game features stylish, retro-inspired visuals that perfectly complement its high-octane gameplay.”
    • “This one made me buy the devs' other games because something about this aesthetic really clicks with me.”
    • “2D 16-bit retro graphics that look decent, with superb music that just fits the game like a glove, and fluid and rapid gameplay that is excellent for short bursts of playtime - in that note, works wonderfully on the Steam Deck.”
    • “Fixed resolution, fixed controls, terrible retro pixel graphics from an extremely lazy developer.”
    • “Nothing changed in terms of graphics or soundtrack: it's still the same.”
    • “There is some graphical glitching with the splash screen and main menu, but it goes away once the game starts.”
  • story
    22 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and serves primarily as a backdrop for the action, with many players noting that it does not significantly enhance the experience. While some appreciate the focus on survival and high scores, others feel that the lack of a compelling narrative may limit the game's long-term appeal. Overall, the consensus is that the story is not a primary draw, and players often prioritize gameplay over narrative depth.

    • “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
    • “The story (not that it needs one) is a simple excuse for the action: the real world is peaceful but humans need violence and created the uber-mosh-pit so they can exercise their violent tendencies.”
    • “Still waiting for that game with some plot and stages.”
    • “You don’t play for the story; you play to survive and beat your high score.”
    • “One downside is the minimal story.”
    • “However, the minimal story and repetitive gameplay might reduce its long-term appeal.”
  • replayability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game boasts high replayability, attributed to its challenging gameplay, short sessions, and simple controls, making it appealing for fans of fast-paced action. With various modes available, players find the experience fresh and engaging, ensuring it doesn't feel repetitive. Overall, it offers a compelling reason to return for more quick, enjoyable gameplay.

    • “The simple controls and high replayability make it an enjoyable experience for fans of fast-paced games.”
    • “The gameplay is great, quick, and entirely replayable for a couple of minutes of fun twin-stick challenge.”
    • “There are quite a few modes making it interesting and fresh to the point where it doesn't feel too repetitive; in other words, I see myself having lots of replayability with this game.”
  • stability
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely compromised due to frequent freezing and crashing, particularly when the brainclap mechanic is activated, causing interruptions of up to 30 seconds. This issue renders the game nearly unplayable, as players are often forced to restart after only a short period of enjoyment. Additionally, players report getting stuck in the environment, further detracting from the overall experience.

    • “What could be a really fun game is sadly ruined by the fact that the brainclap mechanic freezes the game for about 10 to 20 seconds every time it activates.”
    • “I really want to enjoy this game, but the game constantly freezes or crashes whenever the brainclap ability activates.”
    • “When the brainclap fires off, the game freezes for up to 30 seconds and may or may not crash afterwards - which makes it basically unplayable for me.”
  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, frequently crashing and experiencing severe frame rate drops during specific events, despite generally good performance. Players have reported bugs, including visible hitboxes, and many recommend adjusting settings to "high performance" to improve stability. Overall, the optimization is considered poor, impacting the overall experience.

    • “>optimization=6”
    • “Very cool, but not optimized, and it crashes all the time.”
    • “The negative point is that it's simply badly optimized: the whole game runs at a very good FPS, but when brainclap happens, the FPS just drops and the game also bugs a lot. Once it bugged so hard that it started showing the hitboxes, and this is not a problem only for me, since I have seen other community posts also complaining about that.”
    • “You need to set it to 'high performance' to assign the GPU to the game.”
  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is described as a unique blend of cybernetic chaos and samurai influences, reminiscent of both "Kung Fu Panda" and "Samurai Jack," creating an engaging and immersive experience. The soundtrack significantly enhances this atmosphere, contributing to the game's pace and overall feel. Players appreciate the challenging environments, particularly the underground settings, which further enrich the game's ambiance.

    • “The soundtrack is amazing and adds to the atmosphere and pace of the game.”
    • “Nice challenge and underground atmosphere.”
    • “I feel almost like Po in the second Kung Fu Panda movie, but if it was with a cybernetic desert chaos feel, and a bit of Samurai Jack maybe, and some sci-fi novel that I haven't actually read but which I imagine the atmosphere would be like.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is consistently praised, with multiple users highlighting its comedic elements and overall fun experience.

    • “This game is hilarious and kept me laughing throughout!”
