Pros
Pro Polished art design
The graphics, music and voice acting are all top notch. Considering the amount of money this game made through its Kickstarter, it is no surprise the extent of the polish of the game.
Pro Time based gameplay
Instead of having lives, you have a score in the top left corner. For each thing that hits you, your time gets decreased (when it hits 0 you die). When you shoot things though, it adds a bit of time.
Pro Interesting game mechanics based off speed
The faster you go, the more difficult the game becomes...but at the same time the more effective your bullets are (they spread out more, hitting more enemies). Alternatively, you can also slow down which charges your shield, which you can then release to destroy anything in its path.
Cons
Con Poor story in second act
The second act of the game has an increasingly incoherent story that explains very little of what is going on. Considering the first act ends with a cliffhanger and many questions to be asked, to see the second half explain almost none of it makes for a frustrating story.
