The humor in the game is characterized by its absurdist and slapstick elements, drawing on a unique Russian cartoon charm that combines hilarity with moments of poignancy. Players appreciate the memorable characters and funny dialogues, although some feel that the English translation loses some of the original's comedic essence. Overall, the game is celebrated for its retro style and engaging, humorous storyline.
“But the thing is, this game is absurdist and comedic, laughing at slapstick, misfortune, and the squalor of the protagonists.”
“Super funny adventure with a really unique, Russian, cartoony charm.”
“The sort of game where you click on stuff until something new happens... which is not at all bad (unless you hate that sort of thing, of course), because the dialogues and interactions are hilarious, touching, and sometimes a little bit sad, like only the best Russian cartoons can be.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its charm and fitting quirky style, enhancing the overall experience. However, some players have noted issues with the volume being too loud, making it difficult to hear character dialogue, and the lack of adjustable settings is a drawback. Overall, while the music improves as the game progresses, it can be polarizing at first.
“The music is amazing.”
“Cute little old-school point & click game, good humor and I really like the main theme happy music :)”
“The presentation is charming and the music sounds funny/weird, which fits the game perfectly.”
“There's also a problem with the sound; the music is too loud. Sometimes you can't even hear what your characters say, and there's no way to change the volume; you can only disable it.”
“Music was annoying at first, but it started to get better as you progress into the game.”
