The music in the game has received widespread acclaim, with many reviewers praising the original soundtrack as "fantastic" and "top notch," particularly highlighting the work of composer Josh Whelchel.

The game's story is a lighthearted, generic B-movie parody centered around a zombie apocalypse, serving primarily as a backdrop for gameplay rather than a focal point. While the narrative features moments of humor and intrigue, it is often vague and requires exploration to uncover plot points. Overall, the story is considered secondary to the engaging gameplay and exploration elements, appealing to fans of action platformers and metroidvania-style games.
- “As for story and dialogue - yes, those are here - the former has an unexpected sense of progression and intrigue, while the latter features a mix of awkward, dry, and millennial-declarative humor that advances the plot.”
- “Gungirl follows Gungirl and/or Gundude through an epic quest to put an end to the zombie apocalypse that randomly started one morning when you woke up.”
- “Gameplay is great, music is amazing, story and dialogues are funny (easter eggs are a nice touch), and graphics look sketchy but I don't mind that at all considering that the game is free.”
- “Yes, the name is bad, the art is an acquired taste, and the story is just a generic B-movie parody, but the high quality of the gameplay carries the entire experience on its shoulders.”
- “The actual story is very much not important; it's just a silly over-the-top indulgence of games that take themselves too seriously, and admittedly the whole thing looks like it was drawn in MS Paint.”
- “If you're a fan of exploration, you're in luck: you'll need it to find many plot points, stages, rooms, etc. in compensation for sometimes vague and unhelpful directions by the NPCs toward the next point of interest for the story.”

The humor in the game is characterized by a blend of dry, awkward, and millennial-style dialogue, complemented by clever film references and amusing visual gags, such as the "censored" box over characters when they die. Players appreciate the comedic value woven into the story and gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.
- “The game has a lot of comedic value, making cool film references from time to time. When Gungirl gets killed, it has a black box over her body with the word 'censored' in it, making it quite funny to see the first few times you die.”
- “As for story and dialogue, yes, those are here. The story has an unexpected sense of progression and intrigue, while the dialogue features a mix of awkward, dry, and millennial-declarative humor that became evident in Super Panda Adventures. Humor aside, it otherwise manages to advance the plot.”
