Unique gameplay mechanic where taking damage destroys the arena floor, adding a fresh twist to the arena shooter genre.
Smooth and responsive movement, with powerful and well-balanced attacks that enhance the overall experience.
Decent gameplay loop that can be enjoyable, especially when paired with a personal soundtrack.

Lacks content and variety, with only one area and one type of weapon, which may lead to a stale experience over time.
Movement can feel clunky and awkward, making it difficult to navigate the arena effectively.
Absence of a tutorial and soundtrack, along with occasional bugs, detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring a solid loop and engaging mechanics that appeal to arena shooter fans, despite some criticism regarding the lack of visual flair and a soundtrack.

- “That said, I'm confident stating that the use of the player-damage-to-arena-size mechanic here is both fresh and fun.”

- “The gameplay loop is decent enough, but the biggest letdown is the lack of a soundtrack, I'd say.”
- “Now, I'm an arena shooter fan, but I generally don't feel like game designers take many liberties with the core mechanics in this genre.”
