    • “The graphics could be done better, but hopefully an editor will be coming soon where we can import our own objects and textures; I did see a tutorial for one on YouTube.”

    • “But the constant crash reports are really annoying and ruin the gameplay, and also the game lags too.”

    • “The gameplay lacks creativity and feels repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
