Many reviews highlight the comedic moments that arise from failed attempts and unexpected character movements, making it a source of laughter and enjoyment, particularly when played with friends.

“It's not easy; however, missing your step or flubbing your timing will often result in your runner doing humorous flips and faceplants, gamely still trying to move forward as you desperately mash buttons which rarely have a positive result.”
“Particularly when someone is in the lead, only to mess up 10 meters away from the finish and start frantically pounding buttons while shouting 'noooooooo,' with their poor runner doing an Olympic version of the worm as they try and make those last... few... steps... absolutely hilarious!”
“I lol'd at this game; funny mechanics, funny animation, and overall... fun.”
