Clunky, imprecise controls and lack of customization cause frustration and wrist discomfort.
Frequent bugs such as getting stuck in terrain, large enemy hitboxes, and no invincibility frames leading to unfair deaths.
Unpolished visuals with low-resolution pixel art and repetitive, boring level design reduce overall enjoyment.
