The gameplay involves navigating a mansion and engaging in melee combat with a baseball bat, as shooting mechanics are poorly executed. Reviewers suggest that the game would improve by adopting a more action-oriented style similar to titles like Doom or Serious Sam, and recommend showcasing the environments through slow panning shots.
- “Now, for the main gameplay, it's simple: you navigate through a mansion, beating up the bad guys with a baseball bat. The shooting in this title is absolutely lacking.”
- “Now, for gameplay, there's plenty to go over.”
- “I know this isn't Doom or Serious Sam, and I'm not a developer, but I believe this game would greatly benefit from moving more towards that type of gameplay.”
- “Now, for the main gameplay, it's simple: you navigate through a mansion, beating up the bad guys with a baseball bat... beating, because shooting in this title is absolutely trash.”
- “I know this isn't Doom or Serious Sam, and I'm not a developer, but I believe this game would greatly benefit by moving more towards that type of gameplay.”
- “Would recommend slow panning shots of the environments/gameplay instead.”

The humor in the game is characterized by its quirky and clunky execution, with players finding amusement in the intentionally poor voice acting and the absurd premise of a black protagonist rescuing his eccentric white girlfriend. The combination of these elements creates a lighthearted, if imperfect, comedic experience.
- “Funny, clunky, and acceptably buggy - bat and sorcery - play as Jay, aka Daddy, and save the snow bunny from the enemy.”
- “The voice acting was so bad that it was funny.”
- “The premise of a guy saving his crazy girlfriend is also funny.”
