The game's story is described as a humorous and absurd narrative featuring a badass chicken navigating a Tarantino-esque world of crime and betrayal, filled with bizarre enemies and wacky costumes. While the writing and execution are praised, the story suffers from issues such as grammatical errors, a lack of political correctness, and a disappointing anticlimax. Overall, it offers a unique and entertaining experience, though it may not appeal to everyone due to its controversial themes and repetitive gameplay.
“Oneshark is a most impressive team with fantastic writing, execution of story & mechanics, & graphical stylings.”
“Ridiculous clicker game, I never thought the plot of a clicker game would involve a chicken girl being stolen and having him travel between a ton of crazy areas while killing the inhabitants and taking all the sweet loot from their corpses, with all the usual upgrade systems to help you in the next weird area, along with some pretty good beats along the way.”
“Super fun clicker game, with an interesting story going for it.”
“There are bugs and the story has a pretty terrible anticlimax, but I got the game on sale for $2 CAD and would recommend it to anyone who can do the same.”
“Another issue is the grammar and spelling errors littered in the story sections that appear when you first enter a new area; I feel that, however, I can partially forgive this since the creator(s) seem to not speak English as a first language.”
“The storyline made sense of what was going on, but it is still pretty ridiculous.”

The gameplay is primarily centered around repetitive clicking mechanics, akin to traditional clicker games, which some players find grindy and simplistic. While it offers moments of fun and diversity, particularly with its mix of lobby and combat clicking, many reviewers noted issues such as poor usability and lack of resolution options. Overall, the experience is described as enjoyable for a short duration, but ultimately limited in depth and variety.
“The gameplay is fun, if a little grindy, and requires you to be comfortable clicking a lot.”
“8 hours of gameplay, but it was a fun 8 hours, which is pretty rare nowadays.”
“The 'click in the lobby' mixed with the 'click against waves of mobs' mechanic was a nice bit of diversity.”
“The gameplay is nothing but clicking to attack, so I'd recommend using an autoclicker.”
“Poor gameplay (you just click left or right as fast as you can), pretty repetitive.”
“Game does not allow changing resolution/display settings, resulting in wrong scaling and 1000fps+ gameplay on 1440p and 4k resolution.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players praise the superb soundtrack and calming ambiance, others express disappointment, particularly with the main menu music, which they describe as disjointed and unappealing.

“The art and the music are great!”
“Music is superb, artwork and animations were on point, and the scaling wasn't too easy nor too hard.”
“Excellent game with great music.”
“The main menu music (before you pay souls to unlock more music…in a game you paid for already) is a seemingly random assortment of drum beats and synths, with some weird pitched up vocals meandering around in the background that soon fades to almost out of tune piano chords.”
“Most times you are better off playing with the music turned down.”
“Bad music”
