How it feels
a playful, awkward struggle to complete mundane tasks with absurdly clumsy controls, full of lighthearted chaos and slapstick humour.

What players say
Players love the absurd physics and humor, but many wish it was longer, most finish in 3 to 6 hours. The controls are intentionally awkward, which some find frustratingly charming. A few reviewers note the price feels steep for the length.
