The game currently suffers from significant stability issues, including persistent glitches that can render it nearly unplayable, such as getting stuck in a continuous scroll. This hampers the user experience, making it difficult to navigate and utilize built-in help features, leading some players to consider refunds.
“Refunding this game for now. I may come back to it later, but some of the glitches it currently has make it next to impossible to play. For example, I keep getting stuck in a continuous scroll through the screens. The programming of the robot seems a little confusing, but that may be due to the continuous scrolling through the steps and the inability to use the built-in help because of it.”
