❤ Versatile, Responsive Controls

Players highlight how the controls feel smooth and intuitive, with the titular umbrella-firearm acting as a versatile tool for fluid traversal. Reviewers note that mastering the control scheme, which includes gliding, dashing, and a makeshift double jump, takes some getting used to, but results in satisfying and engaging movement through the environments.

❤ Dynamic Traversal and Combat

The umbrella's unique mechanics are the centerpiece of the gameplay experience. Beyond functioning as a firearm, players can use the umbrella for a variety of traversal techniques, seamlessly integrating these abilities into the combat encounters. Reviewers praise how the traversal options, such as gliding and dashing, complement the weighty, "crunchy" combat, allowing players to creatively navigate and clear rooms of enemies.

❤ Strategic Ammunition Options

While the default shotgun-style ammunition is the most reliable and enjoyable to use, the game offers a variety of different ammo types that add strategic depth to combat. These range from bouncing projectiles to long-range rifle rounds, giving players flexibility in approaching different enemy types and situations. Some reviewers note, however, that the alternative ammo types can feel underutilized compared to the trusty default shot.

❤ Challenging, Rewarding Platforming

The platforming challenges, while not overly difficult on the normal difficulty setting, are highlighted as a rewarding aspect of the gameplay. Utilizing the umbrella's traversal mechanics to navigate levels and reach seemingly inaccessible areas is praised as engaging, with a select few reviewers hoping for even more demanding platforming sequences to fully test player mastery.
