The gameplay is criticized for its simplistic MSPaint graphics, unbalanced mechanics, and a short playtime of under two hours, with power-ups and features that feel derivative of other games like Baldi. In contrast, other games like Blood & Bacon offer richer experiences with 3D graphics, varied characters, and longer gameplay, highlighting the lack of depth in this title. Additionally, a running mechanic introduces a tension element, but overall, the gameplay lacks innovation and polish.
“Features of this game: MSPaint graphics aside from the one good sprite in the game, less than 2 hours of gameplay depending on if you get lucky, unbalanced mechanics, no actual 3D character models aside from your own bizarre viewmodel, power-ups taken directly from Baldi, which this is a ripoff of.”
“As you are trying not to get caught, the game has a mechanic where if you run, it will slowly fill up a long white bar at the top of the screen.”
“Features of Blood & Bacon (for the same price): actual 3D graphics, multiple characters to play as, voice acting, a unique shop mechanic, around 10 hours give or take depending on your skill level, unique power-ups, multiple varied weapons, attempts at humor that may not always land, and loads of secrets to find.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for their simplistic, MS Paint-style visuals, with only one decent sprite and no real 3D character models, leading to an overall unpolished appearance. In contrast, a comparable game, Blood & Bacon, offers actual 3D graphics, diverse character options, and a more engaging visual experience, highlighting the shortcomings of the former.
“The game features actual 3D graphics, which significantly enhance the overall experience.”
“The visuals are impressive, showcasing a unique art style that stands out.”
“The graphics are vibrant and detailed, making the game world feel alive and immersive.”
“The graphics are outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern game.”
“Character models look bland and lifeless, making it hard to get immersed in the game.”
“The environments are poorly designed and lack detail, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The humor in "Blood & Bacon" is characterized by attempts at comedic elements that may not consistently resonate with players, though some moments, like the quirky mechanics and character interactions, elicit laughter. Overall, while the game includes humorous features, the effectiveness of the jokes can be hit or miss.

“The red bar when running is hilarious! If it fills up, you die, and I can't help but laugh at that. The drawings are okay; I mean, there are some ripples, but I think those are there to make it look scary. I don't know!”
