Users find the humor in the game to be quirky and amusing, particularly noting the irony in the phrase "the controller is disabled by default," which is delivered in a lighthearted manner despite the controller still functioning. This playful contradiction adds a layer of comedic charm to the gameplay experience.
“I love how the game humorously plays with the idea that 'the controller is disabled by default'—it's hilarious when it still works!”
“The game has a great sense of humor, especially when it jokes about the controller being disabled but still functioning.”
“The comedic timing in the game is spot on, especially with lines about the controller being disabled yet still working!”
