The game has a fun and addictive gameplay loop, making it enjoyable for short sessions.
The concept of a priest using bombs to fight zombies is quirky and entertaining.
It's a cheap game that can provide some enjoyment, especially if you're looking for a simple time killer.

There is no options menu, making it impossible to adjust audio or graphics settings.
The gameplay is repetitive and lacks variety, often feeling like a basic Flash game.
The controls are awkward, and the collision detection is poorly implemented, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences.

The gameplay is widely criticized for its repetitive and simplistic mechanics, primarily revolving around throwing bombs at the same enemies, which quickly becomes monotonous. While some find it fun and addictive in a nostalgic arcade sense, many reviewers note the lack of variety, poor graphics, and minimal sound design, leading to an overall uninspired experience. The game is seen as rudimentary, with limited options and a failure to engage players beyond its basic premise.
- “Very fun and addictive gameplay.”
- “The game uses a simple mechanic, which is essentially pick up a spawned bomb and throw it to kill the ever-spawning enemies, much like the fun and addictive arcade games of the past.”
- “The gameplay isn't bad and is worth your 16 cents sale price, but the game does have problems that make it not worth the full price.”
- “It's not great - the core gameplay loop of throwing bombs at the same enemies over and over is not engaging and varied enough.”
- “Gameplay is so boring that you just run around throwing bombs at the same exact enemies over and over until you can go to the next level to do the same thing again.”
- “A simply drawn background is the set for an immediately repetitive, mechanically barebones game where a character tries to chuck bombs at things ad nauseam.”

The game's story is criticized for its lack of clarity and depth, with players feeling that a narrative was implied but never fully developed. Users suggest that adding simple text or a backstory could significantly enhance the experience, as the existing elements hint at a more engaging plot that remains untold. Overall, the absence of a coherent story detracts from the gameplay, leaving players wanting more context and connection to the characters and setting.
- “Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
- “If there were a single frame of art with some text telling a simple story in between each scenery change, that would add a lot to the game.”
- “Because there's no actual story here, but everything says there really should be: the priest, the lady helping him by turning him into a vampire for a bit, the undead crawling around, and the linear change in scenery.”
- “It's like the designer had a story in mind, but never actually told it.”
