- The controls are tight and responsive, making for a solid gameplay experience that is both challenging and rewarding.
- The game suffers from a lack of weapon variety and boss encounters, leading to repetitive gameplay during multiple runs.
- Some players may find the controls awkward, especially when using a keyboard, and the absence of a tutorial can make it difficult to grasp the mechanics.
- The game feels short and may not justify its price for some, especially if the developer does not continue to add content and improvements.
