Fun and addictive twin-stick shooter gameplay with good controls and a variety of power-ups.
Enjoyable local co-op and party game experience that is enhanced when playing with friends.
Appealing pixel art style, catchy music, and a quirky, humorous theme that many players find charming.

Severely limited content with only one single-player map and repetitive gameplay leading to fast burnout.
Multiplayer is unreliable, complicated to set up with manual IP input, and lacks proper matchmaking or dedicated servers.
Poor technical implementation on PC including lack of mouse support, no resolution or graphics options, uncustomizable controls, and occasional bugs.

The gameplay is fundamentally simple and has some addictive, fun mechanics like the kissing feature, but it quickly becomes repetitive due to limited level variety, enemy types, and power-ups. While the game offers enjoyable multiplayer elements and appealing presentation, the lack of depth and polish—especially in online functionality—detracts from its long-term engagement. Overall, it provides a decent top-down shooter experience but struggles to maintain player interest beyond the initial hours.
- “The gameplay is super addictive, and I love the kissing mechanic!”
- “The overworld essentially functions as the game's main menu, which is a cool integration of features and gameplay.”
- “It gets a recommend because it's worth picking up at some point, as the base gameplay has enough of an alteration in the top-down shooter genre to be worth something.”
- “It's pretty clear the developers spent most of their time working on the graphics, unlockable characters, unlockable music, item upgrades, etc., but they didn't spend enough time where it really counts - the gameplay.”
- “I'm not sure when in the gaming zeitgeist unlocking hats and other nonsense took a front seat to core gameplay, but this is where the game suffers - there is only one arena; only a few power-ups that aren't well-thought-out; only 5 enemy types; repetitive music that sounds amazing but can only loop so long before you go crazy; and so forth...”
- “The game falls into a pattern that causes a bit of a problem over the long term: the main gameplay is the same variation of enemies and items over and over again, with not a lot to spice it up.”

The game features a charming retro pixel art style with bright colors and detailed visuals that appeal to fans of the genre, though some areas feel overly simple or inconsistent. While the graphics are well-crafted and lively, there are no options for resolution or graphic settings, limiting customization. Overall, the visual presentation is praised for its unique style but is noted as a deliberate, old-school aesthetic rather than cutting-edge graphics.
- “It has bright colors, neat graphics, great music and really good controller support.”
- “This game has really cool graphics, lovely sounds and music, and a great lively theme with good humor.”
- “The pixel-art style gives some lovely visuals that perfectly bring to life the mix between cute bunnies and blood everywhere.”
- “A choice was made to use obsolete, decades-old retro pixel 'art' as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics.”
- “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
- “While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier-than-needed control scheme to the less-than-cutting-edge graphics.”

The music in the game is generally praised for being catchy, upbeat, and well-produced, with a strong soundtrack that enhances the overall atmosphere. However, some players find the main theme repetitive or not fitting the action well, and others note that limited variety in the music can lead to repetition over time. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a highlight, though its usage within gameplay could be improved.
- “The music is very catchy and upbeat, really hyping you up to play.”
- “The music is enticing, upbeat, and keeps you in action while you're playing the game.”
- “The music was awesome and every vinyl is worth the brains!”
- “I'm not sure when in the gaming zeitgeist unlocking hats and other nonsense took a front-seat to core gameplay, but this is where Of Carrots and Blood suffers - there is only one arena; only a few powerups that aren't well-thought-out; only 5 enemy types; repetitive music that sounds absolutely amazing but can only loop for so long before you go crazy.”
- “I really dislike the main song as it's just really high pitch and poor at conveying any action.”
- “You'll be hearing the same base music over and over again unless you go and change it yourself.”

Grinding in the game is generally seen as tedious and excessive, making it feel like a way to mask limited content. While some find short bursts of grinding somewhat enjoyable, overall it detracts from the experience due to its repetitive and time-consuming nature.
- “It also has excessive grinding if that wasn't bad enough.”
- “I also feel this one is a bit grindy to hide its fairly small content.”
- “Very grindy, and I couldn't really play it in anything other than super short bursts.”

The story offers both single-player and co-op modes with a variety of unlockable characters and upgrades, but it often takes a backseat to gameplay. Some mission mechanics, such as escort missions, are criticized for frustrating design choices. Overall, the narrative is present but not the main focus.
- “Not only are there plenty of power ups but you get single player and co-op mode story.”
- “Even in a failed mission, currency is saved so you can continue to make upgrades to your arsenal: unlocking more characters and equippable items during combat.”
- “Not doing it right however is a thing you are doing when you have us on an escort mission and we can kill the person we are escorting!”
- “Story always pales in comparison to the meat of the game: the gameplay!”

The game features a lively and captivating humor that many find weird and funny, adding to its overall charm. While some note it could use polish, the humor contributes to an enjoyable and amusing experience.
- “This game has really cool graphics, lovely sounds and music, and a great lively theme with good humor.”
- “Quite hilarious and captivating.”
- “It's weird and funny and an all-around fun experience, and if you enjoy games of this genre you'll likely be charmed by the graphics and gameplay.”
