    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report significant stability issues, including unresponsive puzzle pieces that rotate instead of being picked up, difficulty in locking pieces in place, and buggy menu navigation that sometimes fails entirely, leading to frustration during gameplay.

They struggled to lock in place and would rotate numerous times when trying to adjust their positioning, which was extremely frustrating.
