The gameplay offers a few hours of content for a low price, though its fun factor may vary for players. Some mechanics are similar to those found in h3vr, involving preparation and loading of paintball guns before engaging in levels and modes. Overall, while it provides some entertainment, expectations should be tempered.
“As others have said, some of the mechanics are a bit reminiscent of H3VR - you load your paintball guns and prepare yourself before starting certain levels and modes.”

The graphics are generally considered appealing, but they suffer from noticeable jagged edges, particularly in the wave-based gamemode, which detracts from the overall visual experience.
