- The game becomes complex too quickly, making it difficult for players to apply what they've learned in earlier stages.
- Some gameplay mechanics, such as the cooldowns and resource management, can lead to frustration and a feeling of being overwhelmed.
- The initial music choice for the main menu feels out of place and does not match the game's overall tone, which can be off-putting.

“Now the other music in the game actually sounds fine.”

“The mechanics are overly complicated, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
