What players say

Players praise the shift to a top-down bullet hell with stealth and maidbot collection, calling the combat engaging and the boss fights challenging. Some note performance lag in certain areas, and the game's jank is acknowledged but accepted by the niche audience. The developer's passion and refusal of an AI offer are frequently mentioned.
