The gameplay is criticized for being an unfinished asset flip with minimal content and poor controls, making it feel more like a basic template than a complete game. While a bug involving weapon throwing provided some unintentional humor, overall, the experience lacks depth and cannot be recommended.
- “Once I didn't try picking that up anymore, the gameplay lasted significantly longer.”
- “Check out gameplay/reaction footage [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey8w-ignyps]here[/url].”
- “Unfinished asset flip game with little gameplay and horrendous controls.”
- “In this case, 'simple apocalypse cartoon assets pack' is just a low poly asset pack from the Unity Asset Store that the developer slapped on top of a basic gameplay template, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so a copy-paste of it can't be recommended.”
- “Although caused by a bug, if you throw a weapon at a zombie, it will tend to continue its momentum and bring the zombie with it, which provided me with a bunch of laughs.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent crashes and numerous bugs that detract from the overall experience. Players report unpolished mechanics, such as dead zombie bodies causing damage and flickering visuals, which contribute to a frustrating gameplay experience.
- “The game is really buggy and unpolished at this time: the bodies of dead zombies damage you as if they were alive.”
- “Bodies of zombies get buggy and greatly flicker, hitting you from a distance.”
- “I purchased it because of the waving hands motion locomotion, which I really like, but the game itself is poorly made, buggy, crashes constantly, and is not challenging.”

Players find the humor in the game's physics and movement system, particularly enjoying the comedic aspect of swinging their arms to simulate walking. However, this amusing mechanic can lead to motion sickness and balance issues, adding a layer of unpredictability to the experience.
- “The physics are hilarious!”
- “- although the movement system (swinging your arms pretending that you are walking) is intuitive and funny, I almost fell down a few times because I lost my balance due to the motion sickness.”
