A very fun, hour long game. The gameplay is exciting and thrilling as you bounce from vehicle to vehicle, fighting enemies and causing explosions to go off everywhere. It has a pretty decent soundtrack that sometimes gets drowned out by everything that is going on. You can't really pause too much to see the various scenery but it does have a couple of cool set pieces. I think my main issues are the fact that there is almost no enemy variety or weapon variety. It doesn't even really have a 'signature weapon' that makes it stick out. Dual pistols, a shotgun, a machine gun and a rocket launcher. That's pretty much it. The voice lines from the character also repeated a lot and you'll hear 'Haha, bang!' too much for how short the game is. I definitely think it is a decent little experience you can bang out, and the infinite mood seems pretty neat if you enjoy those type of game modes. It is a fun little indie game, nothing more or less.
Fun, fast-paced game. It's a bit unpolished, and it's very short (can be beaten in under 2 hours, and doesn't take much longer to get 100% achievements), but considering how much action it condenses into such a short experience, I think it's fine. It doesn't overstay its welcome. If you like the sound of million-mile-an-hour first-person shooting and platforming, with a grappling hook, while metal and electronic music is blasting, then give it a try!
