Only played a little bit so far but am looking forward to playing more. It's such a simple game, almost plays like an indie-rogue like, but the core gameplay feels decent. The movement isn't great but it's fluid enough, the enemies' attacks are mostly well communicated and the aiming is alright. There's a good selection of weapons and upgrades too. The enemies are kind of repetitive but there is some variety. The overall theme of labor exploitation is appreciated and overt, and I do really hope that the opening statement of the game not being made in an exploitative working environment is true.

So, the art style is fantastic. It's bright, cheery, over-the-top, ridiculous, and heavily stylized in a great way. The voice acting is amazing too, every single voice actor is clearly giving it their all! But it has to be said that the game absolutely objectifies almost all of the women and girls in it. The two main PCs are literally dressed as schoolgirls but are obviously sexualized. And the dialogue present in the "augmentation" upgrade segments is really off-putting and weird. This is really gross and not okay, but this sort of disturbing stereotype is completely and deeply a part of a lot of anime and anime art-styles. I kind of get that this game is going to be geared towards teenage gooners and incels who just don't care about probably anyone else, but I feel like these things should still be pointed out and I would prefer to play games without these kinds of things.

I love how the lady with the huge honkers has bandaids on her cleavage though, kind of genius ngl

Okay, I beat the game, it was actually pretty fun. It gets repetitive past like, sixty floors, but what they've created here actually works. I would play a more complex version of this game, like if they made a sequel with a bigger budget I would absolutely buy it and play da heck out of it.
