    The game's stability is marred by several glitches, including issues with character movement and shooting responsiveness, as well as instances of lag. Players frequently report getting stuck on environmental objects, which significantly impacts gameplay. Overall, while the game has potential, these stability problems detract from the experience.

    • “This game is good, but there are some glitches I have in mind. The most annoying glitch is the fact that you can get stuck on graves. I am on a computer, and I try to move and shoot at the same time, but I stop moving. Sometimes when I click the button to shoot, it does not shoot, and I can't move most of the time. Oh, and the lag.”
