Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Paunch is a perfect example of a game that you can play for a few minutes or play for a few hours and enjoy every minute of; the gameplay is fun and enjoyable and everyone knows not to take it seriously.

Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
There is no story to Paunch, and perhaps it is best that way.

Graphics & Sound: The minimalist graphics are perfectly suited to the game.

Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
Paunch used to feel like a goofy, chaotic pvp game with some charm and personality, but after the newer updates it honestly feels worse in almost every way that matters.
