The humor in the game is a mix of gross and cheeky elements, often relying on toilet humor and internet memes, which some players find hilarious while others feel it quickly becomes stale. While the game offers a funny premise and unique art style, many reviewers suggest that the humor doesn't sustain itself beyond the initial moments of gameplay, making it less appealing at its full price. Overall, it caters to a niche audience that appreciates its quirky and absurd comedic approach, but may not resonate with everyone.
“It's quite a funny endless runner game; once you get the hang of the controls, you'll get to know the story from the game as you run.”
“It's hilarious as your journey takes you where no other game has yet to explore.”
“If you're into weird and funny games like this on Steam, then grab it on sale.”

The story in this endless runner game is described as humorous and simple, revolving around a quest to rescue the protagonist's mother while navigating through various obstacles. While some players find the initial setup cute and engaging, others criticize it for being basic and lacking depth, with randomly generated levels that detract from a cohesive narrative experience. Overall, the story serves as a lighthearted backdrop to the gameplay, but it may not satisfy those seeking a more substantial plot.
“The music is fitting and the little story in the beginning is cute.”
“Can't wait for part 2! Best story ever, holy crap!”
“In his quest, he travels through the colon in hopes of rescuing her before passing through the hole that no life has ever been seen from once it passes through, all the while avoiding a plethora of obstacles and memes along the way.”
“I just wish that they added better controls and a better story.”
“Story mode is literally a casual runner experience, and where you'll spend most of your time trying to save your mother.”
“is the most basic of bare bones concepts for the style, though with a stagnant humorous set-up that doesn't last beyond the first few minutes of playing, leaving simpler titles like mindless running, yet another cutesy endless runner with a story mode that only costs one US dollar, to be a far more viable option to waste plenty of time on because it knows what it is and isn't trying to reinvent the wheel with the same tools and strive to reach the same outcome.”

The gameplay has been widely criticized for being simplistic and boring, with a reliance on repetitive mechanics that fail to engage players. Hit detection issues further detract from the experience, making it frustrating rather than enjoyable. While the soundtrack is noted as a highlight, it does little to compensate for the lackluster gameplay that many find unfulfilling in the long run.
“The gameplay is super simplistic; I swear this game would sell more if I could play it on my smartphone.”
“Soundtrack is great, and gameplay is alright.”
“Good for a few quick and simple laughs maybe, but as far as gameplay and fun, not for long anyhow.”
“It's not really fun; the concept is interesting, but the gameplay is lacking.”
“To put it succinctly: the gameplay is 'hold LT until an obstacle comes along that requires becoming super-solid when necessary, watching for when to jump to avoid getting stuck.' The hit detection isn't dependable, both in split-second reactions and after collisions.”
“After switching and immediately after the animation for successfully passing an obstacle, you can release the trigger - this renders the gameplay less engaging than it appears.”

The game's music has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the soundtrack catchy and fitting, while others criticize it as dreadful with poor transitions. Despite the varied opinions, many appreciate the humorous intent behind the music, and some even enjoy it outside of gameplay, such as during commutes. Overall, the soundtrack is seen as a notable aspect, though opinions on its quality differ significantly.
“The music is fitting and the little story in the beginning is cute.”
“The soundtrack is awesome, it works for driving to work too!!”
“I will continue trying to play it but the price tag is laughable - if you can get it for less than a dollar or in a bundle, sure, it'd probably be worth it; the premise is at least novel and the art is pretty; the levels are littered with memes and references ('toilet humor') - oh but the music is absolutely dreadful, and there are very poor transitions between the tracks.”
“The music can be a little much, but it also feels like they're trying to make it funny, so that actually worked for me.”
“The game does have a fairly catchy soundtrack.”

The graphics of the game are described as high quality, with a fantastic and unique art style that leans towards parody. However, some users question whether the visuals justify the game's price, suggesting that the graphics may not be the standout feature compared to other elements.
“The art style is fantastic, even though it's obviously parody-style.”
“But is this title worth the nearly six dollars US currency, or does its Binding of Isaac/Newgrounds style of artwork in the trailer stand as the only aspect of the game worth noting?”
