- “I like this kind of gameplay based on physical propulsion, and it's well tied to the universe and character design.”
- “Its unique movement mechanics set it apart from other games, with just enough challenge to keep you going.”
- “The arm-swinging mechanic is unique and adds a great twist (plus, it's a surprisingly good workout).”
- “I gotta say I just played for what felt like a few minutes, but it was actually 44 minutes and I completed 11% of the game. At this rate, I guess the game would average 5 to 10 hours. Not bad for 20 bucks, although I didn’t see anything that would make me want to come back and replay the game for things I missed. I did see I won trophies, but didn’t notice that in the actual gameplay, and since it wasn’t obvious, I didn’t care much for them.”
- “Its unique movement mechanics set it apart from other games, but the gameplay itself felt lacking and didn't hold my interest.”
- “The zany art style for environments, characters, and enemies drew me in, but the actual gameplay was disappointing and didn't match the humor of the world.”
