- stability4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
The game's stability is severely lacking, with frequent lock-ups and crashes that lead to significant player frustration. Users report poor execution of its promising ideas, compounded by inadequate guidance and hints, making for a frustrating experience overall.
“Great idea...very poorly executed. Prepare for frustration and don't expect it to get better. It constantly locks up, and there isn't much in the way of explaining what to do. There are supposed to be arrows directing you on how to do some things, but I had them turned on and never saw any. To add to the frustration, if you do something unexpected, it just freezes.”
“Make a buggy video game that will frustrate the player, of course!”
