- Controls are tight and responsive, making the platforming experience satisfying and accessible, especially for speedrunning.
- Despite its short length, the game is fun and offers a light-hearted break from more challenging titles, making it enjoyable for casual play.
- The game is very short, taking only about 30 minutes to complete, which may leave some players wanting more content.
- Repetitive level design and a lack of challenge in most areas can make the gameplay feel samey and less engaging.
- The excessive use of fart sound effects can be off-putting and detracts from the overall experience for some players.

The gameplay is a blend of classic platforming elements reminiscent of "Donkey Kong Country" and "Ghouls 'n Ghosts," featuring a variety of weapons and monster encounters. While the humor and visual style are praised, some players note inconsistencies in weapon effectiveness and technical issues with screen size. Overall, it offers enjoyable, family-friendly fun at an affordable price, making it a worthwhile experience for fans of the genre.

“I enjoyed it; if you like the Ghouls 'n Ghosts series style of gameplay, it is worth checking out. For such a cheap asking price, there is no reason not to play this game if it looks interesting to you at all.”
“In spite of the titular fart jokes, they don't surface in the gameplay at all.”
“Some weapons you collect are clearly a downgrade from others, but it does vary the gameplay rapidly.”
“I hoped the gameplay would be correct but actually it doesn't run so well and returns always to a small size when you maximize it without using full screen mode.”
