The game's story is minimal and primarily serves as a backdrop for fast-paced gameplay, allowing players to jump into action quickly. While the main narrative can be completed in about an hour, deeper lore is available through unlockable story fragments that provide additional context. The focus is on combat and customization, with a permadeath mechanic that enhances the sense of achievement upon mission completion.

- “Beat the free part of the story on max difficulty in 1h, so not that long.”
- “It's permadeath and difficult, but that also brings about a good 'you've earned this' feeling when you can actually complete missions.”

The blood and guts of the enemies get on the sphere, and you spread it around. The sphere itself is customizable with many different color and decal combinations that you collect throughout your run, and you can upgrade the base capacity between missions.”
- “Everything is awesome: graphics, sounds, music, and gameplay.”
