Some key mechanics of the game include bullet time, rolling (to deflect bullets and/or increase speed), attacks, both ranged and melee, using various weapons of both kinds, which can deal damage and knock back throwables, all of which a player can combo together to produce an advanced level of play.

The alpha version was initially only available for the Windows operating system.

[4] The alpha version's main goals were: Additional features were planned for the beta stage including a fully working level editor (and multiple editors), in-game level sharing between players, as well as the macOS and Linux ports of the game.

The final version of the game includes tools for sharing user-generated content (on Steam), a complete story mode, and same computer co-op multiplayer.

The macOS and Linux ports were ultimately scrapped[6] in favor of prioritizing networked play.
