  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is largely negative, as players express frustration with its numerous glitches and overly simplistic design, which detracts from enjoyment. The gameplay, characterized by punishing mechanics and a lack of engaging content, leads to a sense of dissatisfaction rather than emotional investment.

  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is severely compromised by numerous bugs, including erratic hitboxes and graphical issues, which detract significantly from the overall experience. Users report a lack of functional options and persistent glitches that overshadow any positive aspects, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience.

    • “The game itself is terribly realized: the hitboxes are insane, and you'll likely be killed just for being 1 meter away from the red spots; plus, the whole graphics are full of bugs. In the main menu, there's a 'wiki' link that, when clicked, leads to a 'page not found'. Apart from this, you'd enter the levels by clicking on 'load maps': the other two options are 'map options' (you can choose between 'map builder false' or 'true'?) and 'game options' which only should affect the game quality but they don't change anything about the glitches and the overall poor quality.”
    • “It's quite buggy, with limited options (straight to full screen), and while it isn't that bad, the negatives do outweigh the positives.”
    • “Honestly, there are so many glitches. The turning of the board causes the controls to change direction in ways that often don't make sense.”

  • humor

    The humor in the game is largely criticized, with players finding it unfunny and often annoying, describing the content as random and lacking coherent objectives. Many levels are perceived as either glitched or overly difficult, detracting from any potential comedic value. Overall, the humor fails to engage players, leading to a disappointing experience.
