- The game is very short, with a completion time of around 15-20 minutes, which may leave players wanting more content.
- There is a lack of variety in weapons and movement options, which could enhance the gameplay experience.
- The absence of a checkpoint system can be frustrating, as players are forced to restart from the beginning after dying.

The gameplay is concise, lasting around 15-20 minutes, but is engaging and easy to pick up, making it a worthwhile free experience. Despite its short length and generic appearance, the mechanics are solid enough that players would consider paying for a longer version. While it could benefit from some polish, the gameplay is enjoyable and offers a unique challenge not commonly found in other VR games.
“However, the gameplay is surprisingly solid enough that if it were more than an hour long, I'd actually pay upwards of $5-10 for it, which really isn't bad.”
“That might sound dumb, but it really makes the gameplay more difficult and as a result, more fun.”
“Needs a bit of polish...or grit (hint hint), but gameplay makes up for it, by far.”
“The game is very short (maybe 15-20 minutes of gameplay to complete it) but easy to pick up, and best of all - it's free.”
“Behind its generic looking exterior and bland gameplay, there really is a great game here.”
“Needs a bit of polish...or grit, but gameplay makes up for it, by far.”

Players find the humor in the game to be genuinely entertaining, with many noting that it elicited laughter even after extended use of VR technology. The comedic elements have proven to be a refreshing and enjoyable experience, standing out among other games.
“I was laughing my first time just out of how fun it was, and even with almost half a year with the HTC Vive, a game hasn't got me laughing since I first put it on, well at least until now.”
