    The game's stability is somewhat lacking, particularly with buggy achievements that may not unlock as intended. However, given that this is the developer's first game, the overall experience is still considered acceptable by some players.

    • “Firstly, achievements are a little buggy, so you might not get any. If you still want to play this, being the developer's first game, it's not too bad. It's the same concept as the flash game 'Give Up', just with a much more rude announcer.”
    • “Buggy achievements?”
