❤ Engaging and Addictive Gameplay Loop

The gameplay loop challenges players to fend off waves of increasingly difficult geometric and monster enemies in a fast-paced arena setting. Reviewers praised the "silky smooth" and "twitchy" controls, highlighting the responsive movement abilities like double-jumping and air-dashing. Many players found themselves compelled to keep playing in short bursts, unable to put the game down due to the addictive combination of frantic action, gradual difficulty ramp-up, and the desire to chase high scores.

❤ Diverse and Satisfying Weapon Arsenal

The game features a wide variety of guns, including pistols, shotguns, rifles, LMGs, and even a musical grenade launcher. Reviewers enjoyed the "punchy" and "powerful" feel of the gunplay, with one stating that the weapons "sound really powerful" and firing them is a "satisfying experience". Players can toggle between different weapon types and genres of background music on the fly, adding an engaging and flexible element to the gameplay.

❤ Emergent Gameplay Scenarios

While the core gameplay loop is straightforward, reviewers noted that the game creates emergent and chaotic scenarios that keep the experience fresh and challenging. The later waves, in particular, were praised for devolving into "absolute chaos" as players must manage hordes of enemies coming from all directions. Maintaining "situational awareness" and the ability to react to unexpected threats, such as enemies spawning directly behind the player, was seen as a key strength, providing a satisfying test of the player's skills.

❤ Progression and Unlocks

As players earn currency from defeated enemies and crates, they can unlock permanent upgrades, such as increased health, as well as new weapons added to the random drop pool. This roguelike-inspired progression system was praised by reviewers, who enjoyed the feeling of gradually becoming more powerful and versatile as they unlock new options. The random nature of the weapon drops also adds an element of unpredictability and encourages players to adapt their playstyle.
