Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
If you enjoyed Super Crate Box or if you’re looking for a shooting platformer with tight controls and very simplistic gameplay with enough enemy and weapon variety, as well as unlockables, to keep things interesting, I definitely recommend you check this one out.

Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
This is a known issue with pretty much every build of Gamemaker Studio and the few work arounds include forcing V-Sync on the game file through your graphics card settings and by locking your monitor to 60hz to force the game to run at 60fps, though this does not work for every system.

Everything about it is fun and its cool that it has coop

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
And, while I do like the pixel art style I can’t really say the same for the soundtrack, even though it seems to be praised by others it just isn’t my thing.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
While this is not a major issue for those who enjoy such activities with friends, Online co-op would provide greater variety and competition.

Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
So if you want to play the game without a controller, you have to play it with keyboard only, and there is no built-in way to change the shoot/grenade key-binds to left and right mouse buttons.
