Okay but had more potential

The game itself is okay, it's not bad, it's worth the $2.99. However, the game could have been much better with some better weapons and at least a couple more levels. After about an hour I had unlocked pretty much everything with weapons and perks making very little difference. The weapons were largely useless except for the AR and the shotgun, and the buffs almost seemed to make no difference. Enemy variation was also pretty lacking, looking like every enemy came from a different game.

to little content

The core of the game is quite nice, but only one map, or more exactly one rectangle is far too low to make it really worth it. At least it's really cheap !

Great buy

Very replayable, great motion and speed of the runs. Good amount of different weapons and upgrades. I like the healing and launching ability with the spikes. Shares some similarities with games like Devil Daggers. Soundtrack needs more songs imho. Overall very happy with my purchase.

Roguelike Quake

It feels kind of like a beta, but it's well worth the price. It's got a good aesthetic and fun gameplay, but there is still just one map. I have a feeling that the studio will push it further in future games.

Tons of Potential

Made a quick action trailer of this game because it needs more love https://www.youtube.com/shorts/dlVdij71rNQ The rating is solely based on the fun I've had with it PLUS the generous price tag. But I hope the devs keep adding to the game (like the new enemy!), because it can be so much more!
