Pros
Pro Replayability is high
The levels are generated very randomly making for a unique experience every time the game is played which in turn makes for a ton of replayability.
Pro Time equals difficulty
It gets tougher as time passes by. That means by minute 40, you are playing at hardcore difficulty. This makes for an experience that is good for learning the mechanics as once you can not advance due to the difficulty you will die which means the game has to be repeated which help learn the ins and outs more and more each time it is done.
Pro Item system a bit like in Binding of Isaac
There are loads of items you can unlock, collect, combine and even pick up more instances of, enhancing effect of most of them.
Cons
Con Crashes are unforgiving
Sometimes the game crashes out of nowhere when you were playing for 30 minutes and everything was fine. Also when it crashes any unlocks you have are gone, which can really set the player back and ruin any fun that was being had.
Con Not enough randomness
Levels are randomized only slightly. There are some variations, but after you have been to a level several times, you roughly know where everything is.
Con Poorly optimized
This game has a problem displaying a lot of enemies on later levels - huge frame rate drops.
