The game's initial version suffers from significant stability issues, with gameplay devolving into repetitive use of mortars and freezes to win. This repetitive strategy highlights a lack of balance and variety, impacting overall stability and player experience.
- “The newer versions may be better but this first version of the game just devolves into mortars and freezes in every single map as it's the only way to win.”
