“And the worst thing about this game is that horrible music; the music is just agony and not only that it repeats over and over to the point where you feel that your ears are going to bleed.”

While some players appreciate the underlying moral about perseverance, the overall narrative lacks depth and fails to engage, leaving many gamers disappointed.

“Unironically almost the plot of the game.”
“I expected the game to have more of a frame story, but all you get is Sue the T-Rex fighting big octopus aliens because they woke her up and you just have high score runs.”

“I expected the game to have more of a frame story, but all you get is Sue the T-Rex fighting big octopus aliens because they woke her up, and you just have high score runs.”

“The optimization is so poor that it feels like the game is constantly fighting against itself, leading to frustrating gameplay experiences.”

The humor in the game is described as hit-or-miss; while some find it amusing and recommend it for its low price, others feel it falls flat, likening it to a bizarre mobile game experience. Overall, it seems to elicit mixed reactions, with some players appreciating its quirky charm despite its shortcomings.
“This is probably the weirdest game I've played that I actually can recommend. It is quite funny for the price it has, and even has a demo case if you're afraid to pay the €2 for it. It feels like a mobile game, but for its price tag, we can't expect much. It is what it is, and for its value, it isn't bad.”
