Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
The gameplay, as I said, is easy to pick up and play, and it was fun trying to conquer a room filled with turrets, while looking out for snakes in the grass, but after the initial shock and X runs, and despite being randomly generated, the game gets somewhat dull and repetitive.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
I do like how it sports a cool art style, might be the sole reason I got intrigued, and it has somewhat fun, simple mechanics, but I get really annoyed whenever I try to head to the security mainframe.

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
While the aforementioned graphics are great and the soundtrack is also pretty good, the core gameplay isn't very fun and this game just feels a little too punishing for it's own good.
22 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
It seems like the developer genuinely seems to want quick feedback from players to help polish the final copy before release rather than doing a quick cash grab to make everyone pay 40 to 80 bucks for a glorified wireframe alpha build like everybody else does these days.
