The game's story is largely perceived as trivial and humorous, with a focus on gold accumulation rather than a compelling narrative. Players noted that losing gold can significantly impact their progression, potentially leading to a loss of story content. The delivery of the story is criticized for being either overly dramatic or lackluster, contributing to an overall sense of disappointment regarding the narrative experience.
“Initially, I thought dying would be final, but soon I realized I only lost a tiny bit of gold as a punishment and the ships steal way more than that, making life count little in your quest for keeping hold of the gold.”
“Consequently, he has two wooden legs, but that's not really important - it's a joke like most of the game's story content.”
“The story is silly and recited between levels by a person who sounds either bored or over-dramatic.”
“By the way, in the story mode, the gold you lost will stay lost between levels, so you might lose the whole story if you lost too much gold in the early levels.”

The music in the game has received mixed reviews; while some players find it repetitive and annoying due to the same looping violin track across all stages, others appreciate its nostalgic quality and overall impact on their gaming experience.
“Oh no, I forgot, the music is great, it's fantastic.”
“The two hours I spent with the game almost seem like a dream to me now, the music, the graphics, the bosses, the memories. I can't exactly recommend the title, but it's most definitely a nostalgic one.”
“There is only one song of a violin playing and it loops too often and grates on the nerves.”
“It is repetitive beyond belief, even the music.”
“Same song for every stage and it is annoying.”

The gameplay is criticized for being boring and repetitive, with a tower defense style that lacks depth and becomes tedious over time. Players find the mechanics challenging yet unengaging, as the primary objective revolves around achieving high scores rather than offering meaningful progression or enjoyment. Overall, the experience is described as arcadey and unsatisfying, leading to a lack of long-term appeal.
“The gameplay is very arcade-like, where you can shoot your cannons unrealistically fast and pick up power-ups from defeated opponents.”
“The only real objective is to beat high scores, which adds a competitive edge to the gameplay.”
“The tower defense style of gameplay keeps you engaged as you hunt down enemies trying to reach the center of the map.”
“It's boring, repetitive, and actually hard with the mechanics in place.”
“What kills this game is the gameplay; it is basically a tower defense style where enemies rush in to try to get to the middle of the map and leave. You have to hunt and kill them all down. It's very arcadey, you can shoot your cannons unrealistically fast, and you can pick up power-ups from dead opponents.”
“The only real objective is to beat high scores, and the gameplay would get dull if you sat playing it for a long time in one sitting.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly in relation to steering and combat mechanics. The repetitive nature of respawning and slowly chipping away at enemies' health detracts from the overall enjoyment, making the gameplay feel like a chore.
“It just makes the steering a chore, making it tedious to hit the power-ups.”
“They will probably kill you numerous times before you win against them, but what gives? You just respawn to attack them again, slowly grinding their health down.”
“The dealbreaker for me was that the sailing and combat were tedious.”
