“Also this game has the physics aspect which I have been looking for; it has been over a year since I started my search, and this has finally ended my search as this is at the moment one of the only actually good physics games on the Quest and Quest 2, and I couldn't be any more happier.”

“Not much, the Quest users like to refer to it as Boneworks on Quest, but it's really more like Gmod and instead there is a lack of content and it's boring.”

The gameplay is praised for its solid mechanics, including gun, melee, and building features, alongside impressive level design and physics. Players enjoy the sandbox experience, particularly the creative possibilities it offers, such as unique weapon combinations and engaging game modes. Overall, the gameplay is considered enjoyable and well-executed, though some suggest alternatives with more advanced mechanics.
“The gun, melee, and building mechanics are all very solid.”
“The great level design makes for some awesome gameplay.”
“Great sandbox experience, great physics, and great gun mechanics!”
“Just get Boneworks for $10 more; it has much better mechanics and weapons.”
“I spent 3 hours so far messing around with the GMod-like welding mechanics, creating abominations that one could barely call weapons by welding pistons to AKs and shotguns to swords. The wave is awesome, and I love that you didn't leave it out of the sandboxes.”
“If the trailers or gameplay clips you may have seen of sport mode caught your attention in any way, I highly recommend giving it a try!”

The humor in the game is characterized by its absurd physics, hilarious ragdoll effects, and the chaotic interactions enabled by various tools, which lead to amusing and unpredictable outcomes. Players enjoy the sandbox nature of the game, often finding joy in creating odd contraptions and experiencing the resulting chaos, making it a source of laughter among friends. Overall, the game successfully blends humor with gameplay mechanics, resulting in a fun and entertaining experience.
“Guns are so satisfying to use, and enemies have hilarious physics.”
“After giving the game a shot, it is indeed like Boneworks, but it also has more going on in the form of tools like tether, weld, and thruster, giving it a GMod feel. That is where I am having the most fun just making odd contraptions and laughing at the chaos that ensues.”
“Pros: only 7 pounds, amazing ragdoll effects, and a silly playground. My bros and I love it so much; it was so funny.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered subpar, with many reviewers noting that they feel cheap and lack detail, particularly in character models.

Overall, the game's graphical presentation has not met player expectations.
“Graphics look decent (not so much the player though).”
“If you have one version of the game, don't buy the other unless you really want better graphics, which lowers performance.”
“Everything about this game feels cheap - the graphics, the physics, the whole feel of it.”
“Graphics are clearly just a placeholder, as the 'NPCs' in the game are just default UE4 assets.”
“I own both Quest and Steam variants; the only difference is graphics.”
