- “This indie developer basically just cobbled together a low-effort trash game and somehow it would seem got the songwriter to agree to be associated with this garbage.”
- “My advice is to just play the YouTube song for free, and save yourself the money on this trash until the developer puts a lot more effort and work into this game.”

How it takes Randy so long to appear in classic mode; I walked around for half an hour and he was not there, 3. Is Randy not buff because this is before the events of the song, or is he just like that? 4. Some plot holes, like is his house far away from where classic takes place?”
- “We need more days in escape mode. Also, will story mode be about the songs, or will it be set before, like is it his origins?”
- “Extension for story mode: (slight spoilers, I think?)”
