At first it seemed the starter weapon was weak and slow, but once I got into the "rithm" and it started click about half hour I found it to be quite enjoyable and a run goes fast enough to be enjoyable without dragging too much. Health is a premium resource in this game and scarce enough that even getting hit by the easy to low level avoid enemies might end your run immediately if you panic and lose the rythm. Begginners and First Timers might want to ignore the score and use the assist (it deactivates score multipliers). Overall I enjoyed the hour I spent on it so far, and even if I can only get around 5 levels deep and haven't finished it at this point I think this is a purchase I won't regret.
