Players find humor in unexpected bugs, such as a glitch that hilariously switches the controls for loading and releasing arrows. However, the repetitive level patterns detract from the overall comedic experience, as they can lead to predictability in gameplay.

Reviewers note that the game's replayability is hindered by a lack of campaign levels and a compelling narrative to enhance the experience. Additionally, the absence of a level editor or mod support limits player creativity, while the bow upgrades feel insufficient, suggesting that more variety could improve replay value.
“One point off for the lack of campaign levels and the absence of a mini plot explaining why you're defending these areas. The game also misses level editor/mods compatibility for replayability, and it could have offered more for the bow upgrades, such as shooting further, increasing projectiles, or adding more effects to arrows.”
