The game is widely criticized for its severe stability issues, with players reporting numerous bugs, glitches, and janky mechanics that significantly hinder gameplay. Many users experienced problems such as objects clipping through each other, unresponsive controls, and even falling through the map, making the game feel nearly unplayable. While the concept of disassembling items in VR is appreciated, the overwhelming instability detracts from the overall experience.

The gameplay is praised for its engaging mechanics of disassembling small appliances, providing a fun and immersive experience. However, players express frustration with bugs and glitches, particularly related to full-body physics and VR controls, suggesting a need for modernization and simplification of the control scheme.
“I can respect the work that went into the mechanics”
“I really wish this game wasn't so buggy and glitchy. The mechanics of actually taking small appliances apart are super fun, and I love sitting on my floor taking things apart. But every now and then, my legs derp out. I don't know why they need full body physics in a disassembly game, but okay. I wish they rewrote the VR controls for modern-day VR and reworked the body to just be head and hands. (Saying this as someone who actively uses full body tracking, not all games need it.)”

The music in the game is noted to be present, but it is overshadowed by a lack of visual content, as users report experiencing only a gray screen alongside the audio. This suggests that while the soundtrack may be engaging, the overall experience is diminished due to the absence of visual elements.
“I have an Oculus and it is just a gray screen with music.”
