The game suffers from significant stability issues, including bugs that can cause players to become stuck in the environment and lose progress, making it difficult to recommend in its current state. While controls are generally responsive, the lack of reach in punches adds to the frustration.
“While the controls are responsive, the punching always 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 encountered invisible objects that disabled the jump button. I could only 'walk' in place and look around, but I would have to restart the game, losing the progress of that run.”
“The game crashes frequently, making it nearly impossible to enjoy any extended play sessions. I’ve lost hours of progress due to these stability issues, which is incredibly frustrating.”
“I experienced multiple instances of the game freezing during critical moments, forcing me to restart. This has severely impacted my overall enjoyment and made me hesitant to continue playing.”
