“This is Cruelty Squad but unfunny and unsophisticated.”
“I tend to have a really high tolerance for terrible shit-comedy and really unfunny things in general, but this game somehow pushes beyond that and quickly became one of the least funny, most juvenile tryhard games I've ever played.”
“It's evident it's made by extremely unfunny and uncreative people who want to farm as many 'internet points' & 'stamps of approval' using degenerative & 'lol so random' humor that can be understood only by their Discord/Twitter/Reddit circlejerk.”

The gameplay is characterized by its bizarre and humorous mechanics centered around bodily fluids, which some players find both engaging and absurdly entertaining. Despite its unconventional themes, the game features smooth controls, well-designed levels, and a surprising depth in combat mechanics, making it enjoyable for those who appreciate its unique style.

“The gameplay is perhaps even more impressive as it strikes a seesaw balance of janky and visually odd looking mechanics that feel functional and fun.”
“The level design is pretty great, gameplay is very fun, and I really enjoyed my entire run of the game.”
“Just for a quick real review without jokes for people curious about whether it's actually a good game and not just a joke project, this game does have surprisingly interesting gameplay, of course mixed with an immense amount of purposeful (and very fun) jank.”
“I'm a big fan of unique games with eye-bleeding visuals and utterly frustrating gameplay, but this slipped a little into the deep end.”
“It feels like the developer was really insecure about their game and instead of refining its mechanics, levels, or design in any way, filled it with an incomprehensible amount of garbage so that any negative criticism could be played off as 'well it's supposed to suck'.”
“Clearly a labor of love by some indie developers who care... yes, I'm saying that about a game where a key mechanic is pooing in the air to double jump.”
