The gameplay is criticized for relying on cheap mechanics that create a sense of unfairness, leading players to feel that success comes from exploiting glitches rather than skill. While the lift mechanic is praised as a helpful feature, the overall experience is marred by the perception of shoddy game design that detracts from genuine challenge and enjoyment.

- “I don't enjoy games that use cheap game mechanics to create a sort of 'fake' challenge for the player.”
