The gameplay is a mixed bag, featuring a blend of enjoyable mechanics and humor, but marred by issues such as clunky controls, repetitiveness, and frustrating checkpoints. While some players appreciate the variety and challenge, others find it tedious and poorly executed, leading to a lack of overall polish. Despite its flaws, the game offers moments of fun and engaging action, particularly for those who enjoy platforming and quirky narratives.
“The game is fun in the first hour of gameplay, then it's just repeated copy and pasted content with frustrating checkpoints that make you traverse the whole map if you die.”
“Fun platformer with solid gameplay and amusing dialogue.”
“The gameplay is challenging and varied, allowing you to explore previously unreachable areas as you progress and unlock upgrades.”
“The only big issue is what made this game get panned by critics: the controls are totally messy and interfere a lot with gameplay.”
“Incredibly repetitive, not very fun gameplay, slippery controls, 'lol xd random' jokes for literally every joke in the game, bosses and mini-bosses are either incredibly easy or unfair, when you die you have to watch a cutscene before the fight again, way too flashy, tries way too hard to be edgy, 'mini-games' after bosses are very boring and easy, bad animation.”
“After three hours all I can say is that this game is juvenile and the controls sap any fun that may have been squeezed out of the gameplay alone.”

“So let’s start off with the story, it’s silly and fantastical to the nth degree, I loved it.”
“This game has hilarious death scenes and interesting dialogue and story.”
“The story is nonexistent and they packed up stuff (skins) to try to bribe us.”
“The game is very pretty while the story is incredibly dumb and immature.”
“The plot revolves around an embarrassing picture of the protagonist (skeleton rabbit) and he sets out to kill everyone who's seen it.”

“Really fun quirky platformer - I really enjoyed the music and the dialog!”
“After finishing the game I really wanted the soundtrack, because the songs are great.”
“Such a great platformer with a really out-of-this-world soundtrack.”
“100 flavourless 'bosses' which you will have to pound with dozens of weapons which in the end all feel the same, music is... let's say it exists, somehow.”
“The soundtrack consists of a few alternating 16 bar loops any eight-year-old could compose better in the trial version of FL Studio, it leaves the player with the delightful experience analogous to chewing tinfoil.”
“Also you can't turn the music down which I thought was strange.”

The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant, cartoonish style and high-definition visuals, often described as "candy-colored" and reminiscent of modern 2D art.

Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's appeal, enhancing the fun and engaging experience.
“I was mainly drawn in by the visuals, so no quarrel here.”
“Graphics look great with 'candy' colors and eye-flashing animations... it's opposite to how brutal this game is, but it's a great set.”
“Magnificent hand-drawn visuals, diverse gameplay and soundtrack, pure arcade challenge!”
“Everything to do with graphics and visuals is busy as all hell, to the point where sometimes you just sorta look at the screen and go 'uh, what am I looking at here?' and while that doesn't bother me too much now, I feel like it'd probably get on my nerves after a while.”
“The in-game options are also pretty much non-existent, with no audio options or graphic changes of any type present.”
“I'm not gonna do numbers here, because for what the devs were probably going for, the controls, the graphics, the... everything about the game is probably as close to perfect as they could get it.”

The game's atmosphere is described as a mix of strange and cheerful elements, with beautiful visuals and an engaging soundtrack that enhance the experience. While some players find the atmosphere fun and enjoyable, others feel that it is overshadowed by frustrating gameplay mechanics like difficult platforming and sparse checkpoints. Overall, the atmosphere is a highlight, but it is not without its inconsistencies.
“The game looks beautiful, the atmospheres are amazing, and the characters look adorable.”
“Unforgiving platforming sections, boss fights that are harder to figure out than they should be, and minimal checkpoints and health stations when you need them most outweigh the comical atmosphere and boss finisher minigames.”
“Some very annoying checkpoints, but nice OST, fun atmosphere, a lot of drugs, and rip my eyes.”
“Achieve this by exploring the four corners of hell and exterminating monsters in a cheerful yet challenging atmosphere.”

“It starts out as a platformer with fresh ideas, charming graphics, great soundtrack, and somewhat funny writing, but it overstays its welcome and gets tedious to downright annoying.”
