The game lacks a coherent story, offering no narrative context or explanation, even at the beginning or end. Players can complete it in about 10-20 minutes, but the experience feels incomplete and disjointed, culminating in a return to the main menu without any resolution.
“Still, for $0.99, and 10-20 minutes of playtime (remember to save when you've got full health!) to get through it to the ending (where a bright light appears then you're magically returned to the main menu with no explanation), this game is weird and has no story.”
“Unlike gold dust (which was broken), you can actually finish this one, but again, there's no story (not even a basic text at the beginning and the end that we usually get in this kind of game) and after, like, five minutes of gameplay, you'll just return to the title screen.”

The humor in the game is described as both entertaining and absurd, with players finding amusement in its ridiculous scenarios and antics, despite the game's overall lack of depth and content. While some aspects, like the frequent presence of toilets and the simplicity of gameplay, contribute to its comedic value, others suggest that players seeking a more substantial comedic experience might be better off with other titles. Overall, the humor is appreciated, but it is often seen as a byproduct of the game's shortcomings.
“I was actually laughing my ass off at the antics that were going on. If you really need something to laugh at, you can take an incredible game like Dragon Age II and play explicitly the sarcastic dialogue choices.”
“This game is hilariously cheap, the most common way to end up dead is being repeatedly shanked to death, and there seems to be an incredible presence of toilets throughout the game's maps.”
“The humor in this game is so absurd that it makes the experience entertaining, even if the gameplay itself feels lacking.”

The gameplay is functional and allows players to complete the game, unlike its predecessor, but it lacks any narrative elements, resulting in a very brief experience that typically ends after just five minutes.
“Unlike gold dust (which was broken), you can actually finish this one, but again, there's no story (not even a basic text at the beginning and the end that we usually get in this kind of games), and after about five minutes of gameplay, you'll just return to the title screen.”
