The gameplay has received largely negative feedback, with many users criticizing its short duration, limited content, and basic mechanics. While some find the fast-paced action enjoyable, the overall experience is deemed unworthy of the price, especially given the minimal gameplay time and lack of depth. Improvements to gun mechanics and voice acting are suggested to enhance the experience.
“Gameplay: so-so... for being fast-paced and exciting.”
“The voice acting is passable (one is hilariously bad), the guns and mechanics are super basic, but the fun/action is intense.”
“If each episode is going to cost another $4.50 then it could make for an expensive hour of on-rails gameplay.”
“If this game had a gameplay time of like 50 minutes or an hour, then I would be happy, but the fact this game only has the first chapter and only 10 lousy minutes of game time, it's not worth your time nor money.”
“There the gameplay doesn't last longer than this, and you are mostly paying more for playing once.”

The story is brief, lasting only about six minutes, but it features an amusing and imaginative plot reminiscent of a child's creativity. While it may not offer many surprises, it successfully piques interest and provides an enjoyable experience, especially on the Oculus Quest 2.
“There's a hint of a plot – something way over the top, like a kid's wild imagination would have come up with – pretty amusing!”

“The humor in the game is spot on, with clever writing that keeps you laughing throughout.”
“I love the quirky characters and their ridiculous dialogue; it adds a whole new layer of fun to the gameplay.”
