  • gameplay

    38 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    50% positive mentions, 37% neutral mentions, 13% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a fun and engaging core loop, especially when played cooperatively, with enjoyable mechanics like cart-based mining and light management fostering memorable moments. However, it suffers from bugs, performance issues, and some unpolished mechanics—such as frustrating cart controls, clipping problems, and problematic stamina-like systems—that hinder smooth flow and can cause frustration. Despite these flaws, players see strong potential and find the gameplay compelling enough to keep returning, provided ongoing fixes and improvements continue.

    • “The gameplay loop is very fun and I'll be coming back to finish the story/campaign.”
    • “The gameplay with friends is genuinely a bunch of mechanics that work really well together.”
    • “The light-management mechanic is brilliant — it adds tension without ever feeling unfair and creates unforgettable moments when you and your team scramble to stay in the glow of a torch.”
    • “Alright game, just tons and tons of bugs. The worst one is the freeze during autosave where you lose about 5 minutes of progress. The cart mechanic is very annoying and doesn't go straight when holding forward; it actually goes backwards. This is very frustrating and developers need to fix these core issues before adding fun features.”
    • “The game has potential but needs several fixes first. There are bugs like clipping through the floor and dying to lava when exiting the cart near walls. Small bugs like losing gems or holding a cart have been hotfixed, but enough bugs remain to make gameplay frustrating. Mechanics like not being able to pick up a cart without driving it off rails or the cart gun disabling driving make carts frustrating to use overall.”
    • “Some mechanics feel unpolished, and the gameplay doesn't flow as smoothly as it should. The janky camera, terrible clipping issues like falling through the world, low impact on actions, and a general slog of a gameplay loop detract from the experience.”

  • stability

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game is plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, particularly with autosaving freezing, cart and track pathing issues, and janky controls, making it often frustrating and unstable. While the core concept shows promise, these stability problems significantly detract from the overall enjoyment and highlight the need for substantial fixes.

    • “The game freezes during autosave and you lose about 5 minutes of your last progress. The cart mechanics are also frustrating and the controls often go in the wrong direction.”
    • “It's a buggy mess, and the autosaving feature actually freezes the game. You can't turn off autosaving via options, which makes this issue worse.”
    • “The railroad system is very buggy - you place an intersection, set the travel direction, but it still ends up going the wrong way.”

  • story

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The story aspect is generally seen as lacking depth and cohesion, with players noting minimal narrative engagement and repetitive mission structure. Some find the gameplay loop enjoyable but feel that clearer story beats and more varied quests are needed to enhance immersion and purpose. Issues with quest order and progression also affect the overall storytelling experience.

    • “Definitely needs some work to fix some of the bugginess but the gameplay loop is very fun and I'll be coming back to finish the story/campaign.”
    • “I am thinking of playing again and making fewer mistakes, but a new map and some new quests would be better.”
    • “I will say we may have done the quests out of suggested order but after building the rocket to completion, the need for yellow crystals is not there because by that time you likely have all your upgrades as well.”
    • “It's very conflicting, it needs story beats for this to make sense and there's basically no story.”
    • “Almost no action whilst doing the same thing every mission.”
    • “Suggest: speaking of debt, you should start with debt that needs to be paid off before you can do the last mission.”

  • optimization

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 34% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    Optimization in the game is mixed, with some players experiencing performance issues such as crashes, frame drops, and bugs that impact gameplay, especially when alt-tabbing or at recommended settings. Others report smooth performance after adjusting graphics settings, noting that optimization could improve to reduce glitches and enhance the overall experience. Despite technical shortcomings, many find the game enjoyable, particularly in multiplayer sessions.

    • “At recommended settings, I encountered some performance issues, but lowering the settings gave me perfect performance. I will attach my PC specs in case it is helpful.”
    • “The game's performance ran without any issues for me. I only had one crash after 10.5 hours, but the autosave saved my progress.”
    • “Alt-tabbing can sometimes severely reduce game performance until a restart is done.”
    • “It's clunky, overly complicated, poorly optimized, and entirely dull.”
    • “But the game starts to get hard to love as the bugs and glitches continue to grow, and the performance continues to dip.”
    • “Alt-tabbing can in some cases nuke performance of the game until restart.”

  • music

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 57% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music is widely praised for its catchy, unique style, often described as "goblincore," with standout reggae/pop influences that add charm to the soundtrack. Players especially appreciate the game's enjoyable and affordable soundtrack, which enhances the overall fun and chaotic experience.

    • “The music is really good; my friends started calling it 'goblincore' and never stopped enjoying it.”
    • “They have an amazing version of what sounds like reggae/pop music for the soundtrack.”
    • “The soundtracks are fantastic and available to buy very cheaply.”

  • humor

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    83% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The game's humor is highlighted by its wonky physics and cooperative gameplay, creating many funny and memorable moments, especially when playing with friends. However, some players find certain mechanics, like the fear of the dark for a goblin, somewhat out of place and the overall experience occasionally frustrating.

    • “The co-op gameplay creates many funny and memorable moments.”
    • “The game can be incredibly funny at times with its wonky physics.”
    • “The game is something new; I never played any similar game so far. With friends, many funny moments can happen, and the game has smooth gameplay. I really suggest giving this game a try.”

  • graphics

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 20% neutral mentions, 40% negative mentions

    The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users praising the art style and visual quality, while others find the graphics lacking and unimpressive even at lower settings. Overall, the game's art style is appreciated despite some technical shortcomings.

    • “I really like the graphics and the overall art style of the game.”
    • “Great graphics, lots of fun moments, and an enjoyable experience.”
    • “This still happens even after turning down overall graphics settings.”
    • “The graphics are not great.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    Replayability varies among users, with some feeling it is significantly reduced, while others find the game offers impressive fun and replay value for its price.

    • “For the price, the amount of fun and replayability here is honestly impressive.”
    • “Makes the game less replayable, of course, but then again I doubt anyone was going to do that anyway.”
    • “The replayability goes pretty far out the window.”

  • atmosphere

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere perfectly balances humor and charm, immersing players in the quirky world of hardworking goblins. It creates a cozy and addictive vibe that enhances the engaging gameplay experience.

    • “This game is all about the vibe. It truly captures goblins working hard for their higher-ups. The atmosphere has the perfect amount of hilarity, showing these little green guys ramshackle junk together to get the job done. My friend and I have become absolutely addicted to this game.”
    • “It has lots of interesting mechanics and a cozy atmosphere.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game evokes strong excitement and enthusiasm, creating a highly engaging emotional experience for players.

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The grinding aspect is criticized for being tedious and frustrating, especially due to the cumbersome requirement of building supports for rails and the poorly implemented wooden platforms.

    • “Building rails is mind-numbingly tedious as they need support but wooden platforms are implemented in the most annoying way possible.”
