The monetization of Dangeresque is considered fair for its price, but many reviewers feel that the game's simplicity and brevity make it feel more like an advertisement for Homestar Runner and Videlectrix rather than a fully fleshed-out product.
- “Dangeresque is worth the asking price, but this is a bit too simple and short for what is also just an advertisement for Homestar Runner/Videlectrix.”
