The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating its fun art style and charm, while others criticize the mixel aesthetic and lack of resolution options. Additionally, the inclusion of AI-generated artwork has sparked varied opinions among users, with some finding it unappealing. Overall, the visuals seem to divide players, with a notable preference for more polished designs in the genre.
- “Not usually a big fan of these types of games, but it has a fun art style and a nice charm to it.”
- “The game features AI-generated artwork, including a pickle holding a paintbrush, which adds a unique and whimsical touch.”
- “I don't enjoy the mixel aesthetic; there's no option to set the resolution in settings, even in windowed mode, and I overall don't enjoy this game.”
- “Even setting my dislike of this particular genre aside, the mixel aesthetic is just bad, and I don't feel that this game innovates upon other, better, more polished iterations of the genre, like 'Getting Over It.'”
- “The game has AI-generated artwork in it (a pickle holding a paintbrush and probably a few other things I didn't get far enough to see), so take of that what you will.”

The gameplay is described as a fun concept with a unique twist on the rage game genre, but suffers from severe difficulty balancing that can lead to frustration and boredom. Players find certain sections excessively challenging, detracting from the overall enjoyment, while the control scheme is criticized for being subpar, affecting the overall experience.
- “The shooting is a fun twist on the standard ragebait mechanic.”
- “Gameplay concept is fun but I can't bring myself to actually finish it because of the difficulty balancing; having to do one section over 50 times due to the section after it being significantly harder became very boring very quickly.”
- “Game is a relatively easy Foddyian experience with a poor/average control scheme.”
- “If my rage helps pay their bills, then I'll gladly accept this sadistic gameplay.”
- “The game is relatively easy to complete (around 1 hour and 30 minutes) with a poor to average control scheme. The player has no weight, and the shooting mechanic primarily functions as a fail-safe rather than an effective tool.”

- “The grinding in this game feels endless and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged.”
