The gameplay is described as intuitive and addictive, with simple mechanics that encourage fun and competition, reminiscent of classic snake games. While the lack of tension and variety between levels is noted, the game remains engaging due to its easy controls and enjoyable design, enhanced by good music and innovative map layouts. Overall, players find the experience cheerful and entertaining, despite minor technical issues.
“The control mechanics are super easy and lots of fun.”
“The game is addictive in its own way; the mechanics are very simple but still very demanding, especially if the match lasts longer.”
“Addictive gameplay that makes you want to play until your arms are tired!”
“Gameplay is intuitive, but it's missing most of the tension that classic snake had, because you can completely stop your movement at any moment and bots are playing 100% passively.”
“There is not much difference in terms of gameplay between levels other than increasing AI movement speed: there are some additional obstacles, but they pose barely any threat.”
“Some of the map designs are great and innovative, some a bit less so, and the gameplay stays the same from map to map, except for new baddies trying to hit you and the genuinely nicely done ramping difficulty of the AI slurpies.”

“Had good fun exploring it; I really liked the feel, aesthetic, sounds, and music.”
“Nice graphics, nice music, and very intuitive controls.”
“Visuals are pretty bad even by Quest standards, although some of the levels have pretty good looking and big skyboxes.”

The story of the game is engaging and reminiscent of classic titles, featuring exciting stages and quests that enhance the gameplay experience. However, the visuals are considered subpar, even for the Oculus Quest standards, despite some impressive skyboxes in certain levels.
“Very interesting game, reminded me of the Snake game on Java that I played about 10 years ago. Exciting stages, quests, and gameplay.”
“The story is lacking depth and fails to engage the player.”
“The narrative feels disjointed and doesn't provide a satisfying experience.”
“Character development is minimal, making it hard to connect with the story.”

The humor in the game is highlighted by its fun, engaging gameplay and entertaining editing features, particularly the green screen effect that adds a comedic touch. Players find themselves laughing and enjoying the experience, whether on App Lab or Steam, making it a delightful and lighthearted adventure.
“You will be laughing and having the time of your life, slurping up food to grow and win.”
“It also has this green screen feature that allows for some pretty hilarious editing. For me, Space Slurpies is just about having fun. It's on App Lab and Steam; I've played both versions and included gameplay of both. If you see the graphical drop down a bit, that's the reasoning, but it's so barely noticeable between the two of them that I really don't think it matters that much.”
