The music in the game has received largely negative feedback, with many players finding it repetitive, uninspired, and poorly suited to the game's atmosphere. Users noted that the short loops quickly become annoying, and the absence of sound effects further detracts from the experience. While there is an option to toggle the music, many recommend muting it altogether in favor of personal playlists.
- “Fortunately, the music is better than the game.”
- “My only complaint is the music used in the game; at least you have an option to turn it off.”
- “Needs music to match the zone, not as background noise.”
- “The lack of sound effects is quite disappointing, and I only realized there was toggleable music to play before coming to write this review.”
- “The music is maddening because it's so short and repetitive; at first you're like, okay, this is a bit lit, then after hearing the same beat for the 1200th time, it burrows into the annoyed part of your brain and brutally punches it.”

Overall, while the game offers amusing moments, its humor may not be consistently engaging for all players.

The game's story is described as funny and interesting, with potential for multiple endings and engaging objectives. However, some players find the repetitive nature of dying to unlock achievements tedious, leading to a loss of interest in fully exploring the narrative. Overall, while the story has its entertaining moments, it may not be compelling enough to sustain long-term engagement for all players.
- “I'm sure there are great endings yet to be uncovered and some intriguing storylines to explore by completing each objective.”
- “This game is great! It's fun trying to get all the achievements. The story is funny and interesting; this game is definitely one of my favorites! :)”
- “The narrative is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their journeys, making each objective feel meaningful.”
- “When dying is rewarded with achievements, it's a bit redundant to have to die and complete the same steps over and over again to get to other deaths and further in the story. I lost interest in fully completing the game; some of the deaths are entertaining, but nothing majorly impressive or funny from how far I got.”
monetization

The monetization strategy of these games is criticized as exploitative, with many being labeled as "cash grabs" that prioritize profit over quality. Users note that these titles often feature locked resolutions and controls, low-quality asset flips, and are accompanied by fake reviews to mislead potential buyers, ultimately harming the visibility of legitimate indie developers on platforms like Steam.
- “They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear almost immediately after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
- “As usual with Russian asset flip cash grab garbage, resolution and controls are locked and of course there's all the lazy/asset flipped 2D retro pixel art slapped together to make a minimum viable product for their latest cash grab.”
