The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs that can cause players to become stuck in the environment and lose progress. While the controls are generally responsive, the game's mechanics, such as punching reach, require adjustment, further complicating the experience. Overall, these stability problems hinder the game's enjoyment and make it difficult to recommend in its current state.
- “While the controls are responsive, the punching feels like it doesn’t have enough reach, so it takes some getting used to. However, the main reason I can’t recommend it in its current state is because the game is buggy. I found myself stuck between mountains and trapped by invisible objects, which disabled the jump button. I could only 'walk' in place and look around, but I had to restart the game, losing the progress of that run.”
- “The game is plagued by bugs that severely impact gameplay. I often get stuck in the environment due to invisible barriers, forcing me to restart and lose my progress. This instability makes it hard to enjoy the game.”
- “Despite some interesting mechanics, the game suffers from significant stability issues. Frequent bugs and glitches disrupt the experience, making it frustrating to play.”
