According to Mark Darin, the main designers of the series at Telltale Games, Mike and Matt Chapman, creators of Homestar Runner, were quite involved in the game production process, even from the beginning, "At the design stage we brainstormed sessions with them in which they contributed to the idea- an idea that will eventually become an episode plot.Then one of our designers will write a script of the episode and pass it on to the brothers where they review, edit and rewrite whatever it deems necessary to make the whole thing feel more "Strong Poor-y."

Instead, GameSpot believes the cartoon humor did not translate well into the adventure game, and gave it 5/10.
