❤ Sandbox Gameplay Encourages Experimentation

Players can pick up and utilize a wide variety of objects, from common everyday items to outlandish implements like bazookas, jetpacks, and trombones. The game encourages experimentation, allowing players to freely combine these elements in creative and chaotic ways. For example, one reviewer described the ability to "turn really fat and then get tethered to a balloon and then jetpack into a blimp." This sandbox gameplay gives players the freedom to cause mayhem and amusement on their own terms.

❤ Completing Eccentric Challenges for Progression

In addition to open-ended sandbox play, the game tasks players with completing a variety of dangerous challenges and quests. These range from simple tasks like electrocuting yourself in a fish tank to more complex puzzles that require lateral thinking to solve. One reviewer highlighted a challenge involving moving a specific green statue, noting that the game limits interaction to only that one statue, even though there are others scattered around the map. Completing these challenges earns "retirement tickets" which can be used to qualify for a proper retirement home, providing a progression-based goal for players to work towards.

❤ Physics-Driven Slapstick and Ragdoll Mechanics

A core component of the gameplay is its emphasis on physics-based interactions and ragdoll mechanics. As fragile, elderly characters, players' bodies are prone to comical dismemberment and destruction. This leads to slapstick, physics-driven moments where players can launch themselves great distances, lose limbs, or otherwise meet absurd demises. While the controls may not be the tightest, reviewers note that this adds to the chaotic charm and unpredictability of the experience.

❤ Cooperative and Competitive Multiplayer

The game can be played either solo or with up to four players in online multiplayer. In the multiplayer mode, players can work together to complete challenges, or alternatively engage in competitive "old vs. old" PvP modes where they can rip each other's limbs off. One reviewer stated that the multiplayer component is essential, as the game is not as fun when played alone, due to the difficulty of certain puzzles and the desire to share in the chaotic mayhem.
