The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing it as repetitive, annoying, and reminiscent of a brainwashing cartoon theme.

A few users noted a brief moment of enjoyment from a specific track, but overall, the consensus is that the music detracts significantly from the gaming experience.
“Music is pretty cool.”
“Worth the 71 cents (sale) for the Butthole Surfers-like menu screen song alone.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“The music feels like you're being brainwashed into the most annoying Saturday morning cartoon show that is purposely meant to destroy your mind!”
“The music is repetitive, the controls are lackluster, and most importantly, there's no tutorial or backstory.”
“The music gets repetitive and the sound effects clash with it.”

The gameplay has been widely criticized for its poor mechanics, repetitive actions, and lack of depth, with players expressing frustration over the simplistic one-button controls and slow character movement. Many reviewers found the experience boring and unengaging, often feeling that the game lacks meaningful variety and challenge, despite some appealing graphics. While a few noted that it might be worth a low sale price, the overall consensus is that significant improvements are needed for a more enjoyable experience.
“Would be nice if developers put some more time into it and improved the graphics, sounds, gameplay, and of course added an options menu.”
“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.”
“Really bad game, poor mechanics; you chuck bombs around and often kill yourself. Not much fun, character animations are one-dimensional, and you move very slowly.”
“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.”
“This game is absolutely horrible. It feels like it was made by people who understand nothing about gameplay. You basically use one button and then move around, with one mechanic used in one way against one enemy, but with a lot of cute graphics.”

The game's story is criticized for its absence, with players noting a lack of backstory and tutorial that leaves them feeling disconnected from the gameplay. This absence detracts from the overall experience, as a more developed narrative could enhance engagement and understanding of the game's objectives.
“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.”
“The music is repetitive, the controls are lackluster, and most importantly, there's no tutorial or backstory.”
“If this game had a backstory, better controls, and better hitboxes, I'd say it'd be easily worth $5.00.”
“And a quick tutorial or backstory to see why or how am I meant to do this?”
