The humor in the game is noted for its quirky and repetitive nature, reminiscent of childhood shows like Teletubbies, which some players find amusing. However, this humor may not align with everyone's expectations for gameplay, as the lack of checkpoints contributes to a sense of monotony. Overall, while the game is described as funny, its humor may not be suitable for all players.
“Funny game!”
“This no-checkpoint approach creates a repetitive loop that, for me, echoes the endless cycles I remember from watching Teletubbies in my youth – humorous, but not quite what I'm looking for in a game.”
