The humor in the game is described as a mix of absurdity, dark comedy, and slapstick, often featuring quirky characters and over-the-top scenarios that can be both hilarious and juvenile.

“The absurdity of the humor in this game makes it awesome.”
“But the biggest reason to play this game is its amazing goofy, slapstick, and gory humor.”
“It's not gonna win Game of the Year, but damned it's a funny ride to go on once in a while, especially if you're feeling frustrated and want to take that out on some dumb-looking monster with a finishing move you'll remember laughing at the most awkward of times.”
“Supposed to be funny but ends up just being repetitive as hell and boring.”

The gameplay is a mix of enjoyable mechanics and humor, featuring both weapon-focused jetpack action and platforming elements, though it suffers from repetitive design and clunky controls. While some players appreciate the challenge and variety, others find the gameplay frustrating due to poor checkpoint systems and awkward weapon handling. Overall, it offers a fun experience for a short duration, but many recommend caution regarding its repetitiveness and control issues.
“The game is damn fun, simple mechanics, gets difficult as you get into it, a great balance between action & platforming.”
“Magnificent hand-drawn visuals, diverse gameplay and soundtrack, pure arcade challenge!”
“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.”

The game's story is described as a humorous and chaotic mix, often deemed silly and immature, with a unique but somewhat lazy plot centered around revenge and absurdity. While some players appreciate the comedic elements and entertaining dialogue, others find the narrative lacking depth and coherence, leading to a focus on gameplay over story. Overall, it offers a lighthearted experience that doesn't take itself too seriously, appealing to those looking for fun rather than a profound narrative.
“The story is also full of humor and it doesn't take itself too seriously.”
“So let’s start off with the story, it’s silly and fantastical to the nth degree, I loved it.”
“This is a mess of a story game, that is all the more fun because of how crazy it is.”
“Story is nonexistent and they packed up stuff (skins) to try to bribe us.”
“The story is a mess, and I don't care since I'll kill monsters in the most extravagant and insane way every 5 minutes.”
“The game is very pretty while the story is incredibly dumb and immature.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its catchy and enjoyable tracks, particularly highlighting a memorable song from the rainbow world. However, others criticize the soundtrack for being repetitive and lacking depth, with some even experiencing issues like no music playing at all. Overall, while the soundtrack has its standout moments, it seems to be a polarizing aspect of the game, with many players wishing for more control over the audio settings.
“Such a great platformer with a really out-of-this-world soundtrack.”
“After finishing the game, I really wanted the soundtrack because the songs are great.”
“Awesome soundtrack and addictive gameplay with a hilarious touch.”
“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.”
“I only found one person on the forums having this same issue as me: no music was playing.”

“Magnificent hand-drawn visuals, diverse gameplay and soundtrack, pure arcade challenge!”
“Very fun to play, a wicked cartoony platformer with great graphics, a nice soundtrack and funny characters.”
“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.”
“Graphics: 3/5”

The game's atmosphere is described as a mix of beautiful visuals and a cheerful yet challenging tone, with some players enjoying its quirky charm despite occasional strangeness.

Overall, the atmosphere is engaging and fun, contributing positively to the game's enjoyment.

“Achieve this by exploring the four corners of hell and exterminating monsters in a cheerful yet challenging atmosphere.”
