The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players praising the vibrant art style and comic-like visuals, while others criticize the performance issues, such as lag and low frame rates, even on minimal settings.

The game's story aspect is minimal, primarily revolving around a series of package delivery missions in an open-world environment, which many players find frustrating due to challenging controls and physics. While some enjoy the humorous and chaotic gameplay with friends, others criticize the lack of a cohesive narrative and the difficulty of completing missions. Overall, the game is seen as a fun sandbox experience, but it lacks a substantial story to engage players fully.
“Its gameplay, characters, and storyline intrigue me to such a degree.”
“Story mode has great level design, bosses, and lore.”
“The art style is great, the ragdoll physics are funny, and the controls are simple enough that my four-year-old can play it.”
“Aside from that, there isn't a campaign or story to follow, simply just deliver packages.”
“Personally, I like the idea of the game, but I feel like what makes me dislike this game is that it is nearly impossible to actually do the missions because the characters are so floppy and jelly-like, and that it makes playing the missions quite infuriating.”
“I don't think there are real rewards for grinding through the missions that take ages to do.”

Despite these issues, many see potential for improvement as the game develops.

“It should not be as buggy as it is; I would never recommend this game in its current state.”

The music in the game is generally praised for its catchy and quirky style, contributing to a wholesome atmosphere. However, players express frustration over the inability to adjust the volume or mute it, as the settings lead only to control options rather than audio adjustments. Overall, while the soundtrack is well-received, the lack of audio customization detracts from the experience.
“I love its defined style and its quirky yet catchy soundtrack.”
“Gave up on the game when I reached the helicopter delivery, but otherwise, very cutesy designs and a very wholesome soundtrack.”
“It's kid-friendly and the music is catchy; love the physics and the 'dumb' gameplay this game offers.”
“The settings options do nothing except bring you to a screen where it shows you the controls (which you can't change at all, btw), which sucks because there is constant blaring music and no option to turn it down independently.”
“Also, all of the settings lead to the same spot; the controls, which doesn't help when the music that plays upon spawning in is quite loud.”
“The music and sound effects themselves are fine but the main issue lies in the volume.”

The game's optimization is generally criticized, with users reporting frequent bugs, performance issues, and lag, particularly on Mac systems. While some players find the graphics enjoyable, others experience stuttering and motion sickness, indicating that the game is not yet fully optimized, especially given its beta status. Overall, while the game shows potential, it requires significant improvements in optimization to enhance the player experience.
“Very graphics-friendly game and runs smoothly.”
“A great game but needs optimization.”
“I also played the game far under the requirements and I had medium performance.”
“However, its beta status means occasional bugs and performance issues may disrupt the experience.”
“The physics are deliberately funny and exaggerated to give the player a possible smile or laugh, but 'Totally Reliable Delivery Service' just isn't optimized well and, despite purposely being awkward to play, it overwhelms the actual 'goofiness' of the game and comes off more annoying than anything.”
“Horrible worst game released in the world, lagged, poorly optimized, horrible graphics, badly bugged controls and beyond all burned my notebook ...”
