The gameplay is generally well-received, featuring thoughtfully designed levels with increasing difficulty and diverse mechanics that encourage trial-and-error learning. Players appreciate the smooth controls and quick respawn system, although some criticize inconsistent level design and a lack of depth in certain areas. Overall, while the game offers a fun experience with unique elements, it may not appeal to everyone due to its simplicity and occasional frustrations.
“Each level is well thought out in its design with increasing difficulty as you progress and various paths to explore, each implementing their own gameplay modifiers such as fans that can slice you or push you in a direction, saw blades, rockets, timed lasers, areas that change gravity, and more.”
“The gameplay is really smooth, so in most cases, if you die to something, it's likely your fault, and you can come back and improve with each run.”
“Quick respawns upon death allow for trial-and-error gameplay to help you learn.”
“If the gameplay was crap then I could see no real value in this game other than the cheesecake, but at least the game is rather fun.”
“While the core mechanics are fairly solid, the game suffers from wildly inconsistent level design, including a number of places where you can get stuck, which due to the lack of a suicide button and a return to map option (there is, however, a return to main menu option) is potentially frustrating due to how difficult some of the levels become.”
“I did not like it; the pictures are not my style (most of them) and there is too little gameplay. It is indeed very original, and if you like the pictures that's good, I just dislike the game.”

Overall, the soundtrack is considered a highlight, contributing significantly to the game's appeal.
“Fun platformer with really good music.”
“The music is very catchy and fits the theme of the game.”
“Can't adjust audio at all or turn off music.”

The game's story is minimal and not a primary focus, with players primarily engaging in puzzle-solving and navigating intricate maps filled with traps and collectibles. While some detail is present in the environments, the narrative is largely overshadowed by gameplay elements, which cater more to humor and lighthearted themes rather than a deep storyline. Overall, the experience is more about the challenges and visual elements than a compelling plot.
“Now the game is actually more simple in its story than that, but where the game excels is in the level of detail behind each map, from battlefields that you have to rush through avoiding rockets to a dojo that traps you in with lasers that you have to maneuver through like a spy movie, to outrageous confusing flipping corridors in a labyrinth that have you wondering where the next checkpoint is.”
“Nice little game; I like the puzzle maze map aspect to get the reason we all bought this game.”
“The little treasure chest collectibles to unlock extra missions and the little animation is nice.”
“Now, I won't be going over the story in this game because frankly that is not why you are buying this, I would assume. If it is, I'm sorry to disappoint you.”
“No story.”
“Now the game is actually more simple in its story than that, but where the game excels is in the level of detail behind each map from battlefields that you have to rush through avoiding rockets to a dojo that traps you in with lasers that you have to maneuver through like a spy movie to outrageous confusing flipping corridors in a labyrinth that have you wondering where the next checkpoint is.”

The humor in the game is often described as amusing, particularly through the character's swearing and the initial lightheartedness of the gameplay. However, as players progress, the increasing difficulty shifts the experience from a funny platformer to a frustrating trial-and-error challenge, diminishing the comedic elements. Overall, while the game has its humorous moments, they may not sustain throughout the more challenging levels.
“The fact that the guy you play as actually swears is funny... for some minutes.”
“This game was a blast to complete, picked it up on sale when it was dirt-cheap and I regret not paying more; the artwork is bland, albeit funny at times.”
“At first, the game seems funny and cute, but after the first 5-10 levels, the difficulty makes the whole game collapse; it's a rage game in sheep's clothing.”

The game offers decent replayability, particularly through the Steam Workshop, which allows users to upload their own images, enhancing the experience. While it provides enough content to justify its price and can deliver around 10 hours of gameplay, the lack of features like custom level uploads limits its potential for endless replayability. Overall, it remains enjoyable, especially when played with friends.
“The game also has plenty of replay value utilizing Steam Workshop to allow users to upload their own images.”
“Overall, this is a good game that has some replayability and the option to play with your friends.”
“It's just a shame that this game will never get a full release considering it was supposed to be out of early access... if only they could've added a few more traps and the ability to upload your own levels to the workshop, not just pictures, and this game would've had endless replayability.”
“The fact that you can replace the pictures of the girls you have to rescue makes this a little more replayable.”
