The game is optimized for mobile devices, but lacks multiplayer support and offers limited customization options, including unchangeable controls and no modding capabilities. Additionally, players noted the absence of certain features, such as triple power-ups found in the PC version, and a scarcity of adjustable settings.
“The game is well-optimized for mobile, providing a smooth experience despite the lack of multiplayer.”
“While there are limited settings to customize, the overall performance remains impressive on mobile devices.”
“The absence of mod support is noted, but the optimization for mobile gameplay is commendable.”
“It doesn't have multiplayer, and while it's optimized for mobile, you can't change the controls (which are kind of wonky). Additionally, you can't mod it (please add a workshop!), there aren't many settings to change, and the triple power-ups are missing from the PC version.”
“The game feels under-optimized for PC, lacking essential settings and features that would enhance the experience.”
“Despite being a mobile-optimized game, the lack of control customization and mod support severely limits its potential.”
