The game is plagued by numerous stability issues, including frequent crashes, audio glitches, and bugs that hinder gameplay, such as freezing during training and inventory malfunctions. Players report that these issues significantly detract from the overall experience, despite the game's enjoyable mechanics. Many users express frustration over the lack of effective troubleshooting solutions and the persistence of these glitches.
“This used to be a great game, but now it's just buggy.”
“The game is full of bugs. I could not play as it was supposed to work. At first, when I would try to play just after I finished customizing my duck, I would get teleported straight to another phase where I couldn't see my duck or move properly. I fixed that by clearing all the save data, but then I discovered that in the first part of the game, I was not able to train strength due to a bug where the trainer would not throw the volleyballs at me, and I couldn't move my duck's arm.”
“It's a buggy mess... I enter a battle, lose, and my lab coat goes for level.”
