The humor in the game is highlighted by the satisfaction of executing special moves, which creates a comedic contrast to the overall poor quality of the game. Players find enjoyment in the absurdity of the gameplay, such as lifting opponents into the air and escaping like the Roadrunner, despite the game's shortcomings.
- “I will admit using your special move is very satisfying. Being the punchy guy getting swarmed, spamming, and then using it to lift people into the sky, kicking and spinning to win and getting a double kill is great. Then running away like the Roadrunner before they give chase gives off a funny vibe.”
- “Funny game.”
