The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many users criticizing the art style as unattractive and sub-par, often likening it to mobile game graphics. While some appreciate the cute and colorful aesthetic, the lack of options for customization and resolution adjustments detracts from the overall experience. Overall, the consensus leans towards disappointment in the graphical quality and presentation.
“Cute indie graphics, just so cute it's amazing, and the zombies crawl out of the bushes, that's just amazing! This game is worth every penny.”
“The game is overall good, colorful, has good graphics, and it has an awesome concept.”
“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 art style is straight up ugly!!!”
“A cheap game (considering the quality of the game it's outrageously expensive) with bad graphics, no options menu and poor playability.”

The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing it as repetitive, annoying, and reminiscent of a bad Saturday morning cartoon. Reviewers also noted the lack of options to adjust audio settings, further exacerbating their dissatisfaction with the soundtrack. While one user found a menu screen song enjoyable, the overall consensus is that the music detracts significantly from the gaming experience.
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
“Music is pretty cool.”
“Worth the 71 cents (sale) for the Butthole Surfers-like menu screen song alone.”
“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.”
“There is no options menu; the music is boring/repetitive and the sounds are weird; the collision boxes are way off; you can't pause while playing: when you press esc, you suicide; the direction you throw the bomb to is linked to the direction of the movement; and the game itself is not interesting and feels like a flash game.”

The gameplay has been widely criticized for its poor mechanics, repetitive actions, and lack of depth, with players expressing frustration over the simplistic controls and slow character movement. Many reviewers noted that the game feels monotonous, often reducing the experience to throwing bombs at the same enemies repeatedly. While some acknowledged the game's low sale price as a minor redeeming factor, the overall consensus is that significant improvements are needed for a more engaging experience.
“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 throw 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 superficial developers who understand nothing about gameplay. You basically use one button and then move around, with only one mechanic used in one way against one enemy, but with a lot of cute graphics.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth, with users noting the absence of a backstory and tutorial, which leaves players feeling disconnected from the narrative. While the moral emphasizes resilience in the face of adversity, the overall execution is deemed insufficient to enhance the gaming experience.
“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?”
