The gameplay is criticized for being minimal and repetitive, primarily involving spamming the spacebar and jumping over obstacles, which leads to a lack of depth and engagement. While some find humor in the game's concept, many describe it as an endless runner with poor mechanics and overall boring gameplay.
“But none of that matters because who cares about story, we have to talk about the earth-shattering gameplay!”
“Gameplay worth less than 1 hour.”
“It's a kind of funny game, even though it doesn't have much gameplay.”
“The gameplay, if you can even call it that, consists of you spamming the spacebar as fast as humanly possible and occasionally pressing the jump button to jump over some random asset the developer found in the Unity store.”

The humor in the game is primarily derived from the protagonist's amusing comments and voice acting, which, while entertaining, can become repetitive over time. Players find the character's swearing and humorous remarks to add a lighthearted touch to the otherwise simple gameplay, making it a fun experience despite its limited depth. Overall, the humor is appreciated but may not sustain long-term engagement.
“A fun, short, little endless runner, made humorous by the protagonist's comments.”
“The voice acting is funny, yet again repetitive.”
“The controls are nice, the voice you hear is funny, it looks kinda good.”

The graphics have received mixed reviews, with some users finding them mediocre and reminiscent of typical Unity assets. While the character design is considered odd yet fitting, the overall visual presentation is seen as lacking uniqueness and depth.
“Graphics are just mediocre.”
“The 3D graphics look like typical Unity assets.”
“The graphics aren't so bad (although the character you play is a bit odd looking, but it kind of fits in with the game).”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players enjoy the energetic track that accompanies gameplay, others find it overly repetitive and excessively loud, with no option to adjust the volume. This lack of audio control has led to frustration among users, overshadowing the otherwise entertaining elements of the game.
“Let's not forget the banging song that plays as you jump over each obstacle, it's awesome!”
“I knew I was in for a steaming hot pile of dog feces when I booted up the game and my speakers almost got blown out from the deafening loud music that you cannot turn off because the developer is so lazy that they didn't even include an audio slider.”
“I couldn't stand listening to the garbage music and the annoying main character for more than 30 seconds, so I just muted my computer's volume.”

The reviews indicate that the game lacks a significant story, with some players suggesting that the absence of a narrative is inconsequential compared to the gameplay experience.
“There is no story.”
“But none of that matters because who cares about the story, we have to talk about the earth-shattering gameplay!”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, with tasks like completing 50 runs feeling repetitive, though they can be done relatively quickly. Additionally, some users suggest that having a second life or account may be beneficial for managing the grind.
“Grinding in this game is incredibly rewarding and keeps you engaged.”
“The grind is challenging but satisfying, making every achievement feel earned.”
“Simple enough, 50 runs at 100 is very tedious, although relatively quick.”
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
