I like the visual style.

It mostly works well on mobile, but the layout results in hilariously big images on desktop.

The top unit could benefit from scaling to the viewport height. Right now the grey section is 100% the height of the viewport, meaning that scrolling is not an obvious interaction. Having some yellow and text peeking up could make that more intuitive.

It is ridiculous on a 2560x1440 screen. It seems to be designed for a "10ft television" view distance. Much better at 25% zoom.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. The site is awful on desktop - definitely designed for mobile alone. Which seems strange - considering the target market for this.

Ctrl+-- makes it tolerable on desktop.

Ya, it works as an ad, even if I wouldn't want this kind of design for more serious content.

Agreed. It's a great design.
