Overall, while the gameplay is fun and engaging, it is marred by technical problems that can affect enjoyment.

- “It's pretty good, very addictive gameplay loop.”
- “The game has a satisfying gameplay loop and has kept me entertained.”

- “The game still has balance issues in gameplay.”
- “With its bafflingly in-depth mechanics in the most asinine of places.”

Overall, users report improved stability with the game, noting that previous issues like temporary freezes have been resolved. However, some glitches persist, such as payment errors and item handling problems, leading to concerns about the game's long-term support and the developer's track record of leaving games unpatched.

- “Then I ran into glitches like not getting paid for doing exactly what the tasks were, and a glitch where I was holding something even after putting it down, causing the item to glitch out in front of me.”
- “And if you know the dev, these games never receive more content; they get left in this state, and the dev moves on with their next broken and buggy game, which is sad as the ideas are great.”
- “Sure, it's only $8, but I just don't think a dev that makes games that are extremely buggy and then leaves them abandoned without any new content or fixes is worthy of your cash.”
