    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews; while some players appreciate the charming and cute visuals that enhance the quirky adventure, others criticize the overall quality, suggesting that even with a Flash-based design, it surpasses many indie titles that rely on retro pixel art.

    • “Not kidding, the game was written in Flash and it's complete and awful rubbish, but they still managed to create something that looks better than retro pixel graphics like most indie devs do because they don't have the talent for real graphics.”

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by cheesy jokes and amusing items, such as a durian and a pickle jar, which some players find entertaining while others may not appreciate. While the dialogue and animations add to the comedic experience, the overall humor is hit-or-miss, appealing mainly to those who enjoy lighthearted, silly content.

    • “I enjoy bad jokes, so I thought it was really funny, but if you don't like cheesy jokes, then you may not enjoy it as much.”
    • “The addition of the durian and being unable to open the pickle jar was pretty funny and got a good laugh out of me.”

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has been widely criticized for being repetitive and annoying, with many players finding it a boring loop that detracts from the overall experience.

    • “Interactions are cute, but the music becomes really annoying after a while due to its repetitiveness.”
    • “The music is a boring loop generally, but the game isn't really long enough for that to be too much of an issue.”
