The game's humor is described as quirky and offbeat, drawing comparisons to shows like "Superjail" and "Adult Swim," which resonates even with players who typically shy away from odd humor. Reviewers appreciate the hilarious characters and bizarre scenarios, noting that the humor effectively combines absurdity with social commentary, enhanced by strong voice acting and expressive animation. Overall, the game delivers a unique and entertaining comedic experience that keeps players laughing.
- “Funny characters in a unique world.”
- “The art style reminds me of Superjail, and the voices were as if they ripped someone from Adult Swim... it's on-point odd humor.”
- “An evil maniac, Fergooson, is bestowed upon a jetpack and the command of an army of evil babies and other miscreants, by an unknown seemingly greater evil with a very peculiar silhouette residing beneath the surface of this mysterious world. The surface is inhabited by humans so stupid you will be unsure whether or not you want them to like you, and it becomes very clear very quickly that none of them have your best interest in mind. A very bizarre but entertaining piece of social commentary, and the humor is very on the nose with a lot of references that made me laugh out loud, but at the same time being just obscure enough that it doesn't come off as offensive, brought to life with talented voice acting and expressive animation.”
