❤ Cooperating with a Powerful Companion

The core gameplay revolves around the dynamic between the player, a weak and slow "stick figure" human, and their robotic companion, Kill-BOI 9000. Players must scurry across the battlefield, collecting enemy "hearts" and bringing them to Kill-BOI to power him up and unlock new devastating weaponry, such as saws, drones, grenades, and cannons. Reviewers praise this symbiotic relationship as a refreshing twist on the "survivors-like" genre, with players constantly balancing their role as the fragile collector and their robot ally's role as the destructive force.

❤ Depth in Weapon and Upgrade Combinations

The game offers a vast array of weapons and upgrades for Kill-BOI 9000, allowing players to create unique and overpowered builds. Reviewers highlight the depth of this system, noting that they can equip their robot companion with an assortment of tools and then further enhance them through various synergistic upgrades. For example, players can give Kill-BOI drones that wield circling saws, or grenades that contain black holes. Experimenting with these combinations is a key part of the gameplay loop, as players strive to find the most effective ways to survive.

❤ Accessible Difficulty with Hardcore Options

According to reviewers, the game's difficulty is well-balanced, with the base experience being approachable and casual, while the "Endless Mode" and "Hard Mode" provide a significant challenge for more experienced players. The difficulty scales nicely, allowing players to gradually improve their skills and master the game's mechanics. Reviewers mention that the 10-minute run length caters to quick, pick-up-and-play sessions, while the "Endless Mode" offers a more long-term challenge.

❤ Engaging Presentation

Reviewers consistently praise the game's visual style, describing it as "quirky," "goofy," and "hand-drawn," complemented by fitting audio that keeps players engaged during the chaotic gameplay. The overall presentation is seen as a strong match for the game's unique and humorous tone.
