The game is completely free, demonstrating the developers' confidence in their work and providing a no-cost option for players.

The gameplay can become frustrating, particularly with mechanics that lead to repeated level attempts after dying.
Public reception has been poor, with very few players engaging with the game, indicating it may not resonate with a wider audience.
