However, many others criticize the humor as lacking, citing poor attempts at comedy and game-breaking bugs that detract from the overall experience.

“I remember buying this when I was around 11 because funny DanTDM played it.”
“In short, the game is not fun, not novel, and not funny.”
“Game-breaking bugs: while bugs are a part of the game, there are some that make you relaunch the game (which feels like a quite a slow process): the menu icons not disappearing, physics bugging so that you can't walk and thus are forced to be on ragdoll all the time, dummy getting stuck into buildings, ground, etc. so bad you can't move... those bugs are not funny.”

The game's story conveys a moral about perseverance and the unpredictability of life, emphasizing that giving up can prevent personal growth. However, players have noted significant issues with mission tracking and collectible items, which detracts from the overall narrative experience. The gameplay involves taking on quick missions as a test dummy ragdoll, but technical glitches hinder the storytelling aspect.
“Moral of the story: you never know what life has in store for you, and if I had given up when all odds were against me, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
“When I bought it and started playing, it would just stay on the mission screen.”
“Collectible items and missions: the game does not remember which items I picked up last time and what missions I did.”
“You play as a test dummy ragdoll and are given quick missions in real time via a console on the bottom left of the screen.”
