  • music13 mentions

    The music in the game, primarily composed by Jimmy Urine, is widely praised for its quality and character, with many players considering it a standout feature. However, some users report technical issues that prevent the music from playing, and others find the intensity of the soundtrack overwhelming for gameplay. Despite these concerns, the overall sentiment is that the music significantly enhances the gaming experience and deserves an official release.

    • “With all this being said, the gameplay is passable if you can get the controls to work with you, and the art style and music are well worth the price on their own.”
    • “First off, the good sides: the soundtrack was made by Jimmy Urine, which is just awesome and gives the game a whole character to it.”

    • “There are so many problems that the music doesn't even play.”

  • graphics8 mentions

    The game's graphics are highly praised for their unique art style, reminiscent of Jhonen Vasquez's work, particularly evoking a vibe similar to "Invader Zim." Players appreciate the distinct visuals and character designs, although some feel that the level design could be improved. Overall, the art and music contribute significantly to the game's appeal, even if the gameplay itself is considered less polished.

    • “The game's visuals and art style are amazing; I can tell that the artist was inspired by Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim.”

  • gameplay4 mentions

    The gameplay is generally considered passable, with some reviewers noting that while the controls can be frustrating, the visuals and art style are impressive and enhance the experience. However, there are criticisms regarding the need for improvement in gameplay mechanics, despite some solid elements reminiscent of classic platformers like Rayman.

    • “The gameplay seems solid; the backgrounds in one level I noticed moved with you, similar to the original Rayman.”
    • “With all this being said, the gameplay is passable if you can get the controls to work with you, and the art style and music are well worth the price on their own.”
    • “The negative points I want to point out are mainly about the gameplay itself.”
    • “The game's visuals and art style are amazing (I can tell that the artist was inspired by Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim), but the gameplay could use some work.”
    • “With all this being said, the gameplay is passable if you can get the controls to work with you.”

    • “The story and humor, while immature and bizarre, add a nice touch, and I did get an occasional chuckle.”
  • optimization2 mentions

    Overall, optimization for the game appears to be inconsistent; while some players report no performance issues, others have encountered significant problems, particularly on PC. Additionally, the lack of character names and minimal voice acting contribute to a sense of underdevelopment in the game's presentation.

    • “I haven't experienced any performance issues, like some others have reported, but I haven't tried using a controller either.”
    • “And the main characters don't even have names, there's little to no voice acting, and the game is poorly optimized on PC.”
  • story2 mentions

    The story is characterized by its immature and bizarre humor, which some players find amusing, though it often feels disconnected from the gameplay, with many levels appearing generic and not closely tied to the narrative.

    • “The levels barely pertain to the story; a couple fit in, but others are just generic video game worlds.”
    • “The story and humor, while immature and bizarre, are still a nice touch, and I did get an occasional chuckle.”
  • stability1 mentions

    Users have reported stability issues, particularly glitches when changing controls, which detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, the limited weapon options, such as primarily using a shotgun, may contribute to frustrations in gameplay.

    • “My only real complaint is the glitches when changing controls.”
    • “The game frequently crashes, making it nearly unplayable.”
    • “I experienced numerous bugs that disrupted my gameplay experience.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious, particularly due to slow reload speeds and limited weapon variety, which can lead to frustration over time.

    • “I'm hoping they give you more than a shotgun to work with, because the reload speed is slow and it gets tedious after a bit.”
