The stability of the game is marred by persistent minor glitches, including issues with image loading and video playback, as well as a problematic whiteboard orientation that lacks a reset function. Users express hope for future patches to address these bugs, indicating that while the concept is promising, the execution is currently flawed.
“There are still some minor glitches I'm experiencing, such as images that fail to load. A desired feature would be to rotate the whiteboard along the floor, as for some reason it is oriented in a weird position and no reset view function works on it. Hopefully, something will be patched later.”
“Nice idea - buggy execution.”
“Video glitches every time I load this.”
