The humor in the game is hit-or-miss; while some players find it hilarious, especially when played with friends, others feel that the jokes fall flat and are not genuinely funny. Overall, it seems to cater to a specific audience that appreciates silly or absurd humor, but it may not resonate with everyone.

The gameplay is criticized for lacking depth, as players primarily use a slingshot to find exits while facing non-threatening enemies that can be easily evaded. However, some users find the experience intriguing despite the issues with enemy spawning and overall engagement.
“Overall incredible and very interesting gameplay”
“But that is where it ends; there is no gameplay. You have a slingshot and try to find an exit, but the enemies pose no threat since you can just keep on running. Enemies spawn all over, even in the ground.”
“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks depth. There are no real challenges, and the mechanics are poorly implemented.”
“I found the controls to be unresponsive, making it frustrating to navigate through the levels. The overall experience is marred by clunky gameplay.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for poor optimization, resulting in sluggish performance even on high-end systems, and a lack of resolution or graphics settings adjustments.
“If you try to take it seriously as a game, you'll find no resolution or graphics tweaks, no controller tweaks... it's horribly optimized and will be sluggish even on high-end rigs.”
“The graphics look outdated and lack the detail you'd expect from a modern game.”
“Textures are low quality and the overall visual presentation feels rushed and unfinished.”
