Gameplay is a bit like a runner except it is you shooting aliens in the face!
Earn cash by your performance to buy upgrades, Passive abilities and refill ammo.
Clear waves to earn bonus powerups. You get a choice of three and its a mini-game where you need to press a button on the icon as it fills up and avoid overcharging it.
When you die you can choose to shuffle the enemies or take a bonus power-up.
Brief tutorial.
Boombox- Unlock tapes and create your own playlists.
Simple controls, L2 to shoot and move the gun up and down. Further weapons and attacks require a different button like O is for melee.

Cons:

Can be hard to see the enemies.
No list of what the bonuses are so you are never sure what you have picked.
Using the grenade is awkward and slow as you have to arch it and charge it.
Repetitive.
Down to the RNG gods for powerups.
Sometimes the area of play feels small and not a lot of reaction time.
