The gameplay is characterized by a unique gamba mechanic that players enjoy, but it suffers from a lack of tutorials, leaving players to navigate a post-apocalyptic world and figure out mechanics on their own. While the simplicity of the gameplay is appealing, the scale can lead to excessive running around, though most players find they can adapt after a short period of play. Overall, the experience feels somewhat disjointed, with familiar elements from previous games.
“Love the gamba mechanic; it's probably the best part of the game.”
“My only real negative is the scale leading you to run around a lot, and the lack of tutorial/direction, but it's easily figured out with a few minutes of gameplay.”
“The gameplay overall is simple but juxtaposed with a lack of any real tutorial, mercilessly dropping you into a seemingly post-apocalyptic world where you're forced to figure everything out on your own while collecting monster eggs to pay off your debts.”
“There's also a mechanic I don't quite understand yet that seems to let you convert various things into other things.”
“It feels like a patchwork of models, with a high degree of overlap with the previous gameplay.”

The graphics in the game receive mixed reviews, with some players noting poor visibility due to fog and dark tones, while others appreciate the coherent art style reminiscent of 90s graphics. Despite its aesthetic appeal, issues such as subpar graphics and performance detract from the overall experience.
“I love the atmosphere and aesthetic.”
“It's a lot like Lethal Company, but it's free and the art style feels a little more coherent.”
“The visibility in the game is also horrible; the way fog works along with the dark tone and subpar graphics makes it really hard to move around and see.”
“It's a nice game, although there are some defects: poor graphics, running poorly, and lack of Hawaiian language.”

The game's stability is notably poor, with users reporting numerous glitches and bugs that detract from the overall experience. While it can be entertaining in a multiplayer setting, players should be prepared for significant performance issues and a repetitive gameplay loop. Overall, the game is seen as a low-cost option, but its technical shortcomings are a major drawback.
“After spending two hours in the game experimenting with glitches, bugs, and cheesing enough money to go on safari hunts instead of searching for eggs, I can confidently say: why play this game when you can play Lethal Company?”
“Long story short: the game is buggy, repetitive, and a clear imitation of a more enjoyable game.”
“It's absolutely worth a shot with a few friends at its low price of free and small download size of ~1.5GB, in my opinion, provided you go in knowing it's quite buggy and some areas have some pretty intense performance hits.”

Reviewers appreciate the nostalgic, early-3D aesthetic, noting that it effectively complements the game's genre and overall environment.
“I enjoyed the vibes in the auction area—the textures were nice, and the atmosphere was solid.”
“I'm a big fan of the overall atmosphere and environment; it has a vaguely nostalgic, early-3D vibe, and its approach to the genre's formula both aids and augments it quite well.”
“I love the atmosphere and aesthetic.”

The humor in the game elicits some laughs, primarily due to its bugs rather than intentional comedic elements. While there are amusing concepts present, players feel that the game requires further development to fully realize its comedic potential.
“We did have some laughs, but only because we were laughing at the bugs.”
“Besides the jokes, the game has a lot of funny concepts; it just needs more time in the oven, to be honest.”
