The music in the game has received high praise for its quality and engaging remixes, with many players enjoying the chiptune vibes reminiscent of Touhou.

Overall, the soundtrack enhances the gameplay experience, contributing to the charm and personality of the game.
- “The OST is amazing, I loved the new remixes.”
- “Good music, giving Touhou vibes, to be honest.”
- “The soundtrack is absolutely amazing.”
- “The game only has one track and it does kinda drill in your head after like 2 stages, and it's just a chiptune remix of 'internet yamero.'”
- “The typing game only has three levels, and the only real difference is the music from each one and the background.”
- “The typing aspect of the game lasts literally like 10 minutes, and while it was kinda charming, it felt a bit generic, especially since the music didn't change much.”

The gameplay of the 2D platformer is described as polished yet clunky, featuring limited enemy variety and mechanical depth, which detracts from the overall experience. While a bug was quickly patched, the game is criticized for its short length of under an hour and significant difficulty spikes in boss encounters, leading many to question its value at the price point. Overall, players suggest that the game lacks sufficient content and playtesting, making it less enjoyable compared to other titles in the genre.
- “The 2D platformer was polished (besides a quickly patched bug) with great gameplay and music, although it was unfortunately just under an hour long.”
- “(edit) The bug previously mentioned in this review has now been patched on the following day and the game mechanics work as intended; the difference is really noticeable too.”
- “The actual 2D platformer game feels clunky and only has one type of enemy and not a lot of mechanical depth. Some parts of it feel like they were just not even tested whatsoever; for example, the stage 4 boss is a gigantic difficulty spike, but the stage 5 boss I only got hit twice.”
- “I was actually wrong about the endless mode, but still, the game isn't worth the price for less than an hour of gameplay.”
- “That had a lot more gameplay variety and a better sense of discovery than this, and was overall more entertaining.”

The game is described as a cute and humorous typing experience centered around shitposting, featuring funny word descriptions and a playful personality. While players enjoy the comedic elements and rhythm game feel, some express frustration with the inclusion of special characters that aren't utilized in gameplay. Overall, the humor adds charm to the game, though some feel the price may be a bit high for its simplicity.
- “Cute, funny 30-minute typing game about shitposting. I'm sure I would be a lot better at this game if I wasn't just a lurker on Reddit, so I had to give myself the 5 lives to beat it. GG no re.”
- “I love the music and the slight rhythm game feeling it has. The descriptions of the words are funny, and I love that they tried to add a little personality to Kangel using those.”
- “Funny typing game with a 5-stage platformer at the end.”

Overall, the game's stability is criticized for being buggy and prone to issues, particularly when using keyboard controls, which can hinder gameplay significantly. Players report that certain levels are nearly impossible to complete without a controller, and while the main game is well-crafted, the spin-off suffers from lag and bugs. The consensus suggests that despite its enjoyable elements, the game's stability detracts from the overall experience.
- “The game is literally impossible or near impossible if you don't have a controller to clear this one jump on level 2.”
- “While the main game is pretty well made, the secret game is a bit buggy and lags a bit.”
- “The controls are kinda janky and it's pretty buggy playing on the keyboard, to the point that I wasn't able to use a skill properly to progress.”

- “For the price right now of 7.99€, you really don't get any additional story or content.”
- “I can't recommend the base game; yes, they made an update where you can choose infinite lives, but that doesn't excuse the lack of content and story.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly due to issues with the secret mode and keyboard controls that hinder progress. While the typing mode offers initial enjoyment, it quickly becomes frustrating, especially when players encounter levels that malfunction. Overall, there is a strong sentiment that the game requires further development before being released.
- “The typing mode is fun for a bit but just gets tedious after a while. Being stuck on a level that doesn't function on keyboard, despite this being a typing game, is incredibly disappointing. The game needs more time in the oven.”
- “It's insulting for this game to be shipped at the price it is when it barely functions. The keyboard controls should be flawless, yet I'm incredibly disappointed in the current state of the game.”
- “The secret mode just doesn't work, and it's frustrating to see a game released in this condition. The grinding aspect becomes tedious quickly, and it feels like the game was rushed.”
