    • “The graphics are great.”
    • “In conclusion: I can overlook a lot, but when the gameplay isn’t good, and the graphics offer no distraction from mediocre gameplay, why am I still here?”
    • “The animals still have horrid animation (the rabbit looks like it sat on a plug and can't get it unstuck from its rear...), animals path horribly (up sheer faces, stuck running in one place or doing small circles, etc.), you can fall through building floors and roofs, collectables are in the exact same spots, a few are in areas you have to fidget for ages to get them to sparkle so you can collect them, flying is still broken (you may get stuck flying up but have no ability to move from left, right, back or forward, and you may not be able to do the 'float down' thing, unless you manage to find an invisible wall to fly into and break the leash...), graphics are terrible, yet will heat your GPU and CPU up, no matter what settings you try, 2D that tries to look like 3D and fails...”
    • “The graphics aren't that great and it really looks bad from up above.”
  • music
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • atmosphere
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “Even by the standards of that era, I think that it is a fairly weak effort, especially when it comes to the gameplay.”

  • optimization

  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game raises concerns among users, as its quality is often compared to that of asset flips or cash grab scams, leading to skepticism about its value. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, players feel the need to approach the game's monetization with caution.

    • “There's no evidence, so we need to give the benefit of the doubt... regardless, asset flip or not, the quality here is indistinguishable from many asset flip/cash grab scams, and that's a problem in itself.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players report that the game evokes a sense of grounding and self-discovery, allowing them to feel more centered and purposeful rather than aimlessly drifting through experiences.

    • “It made me feel collected and found rather than just drifting away with the flow.”

  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find humor in the game's quirky physics, particularly the amusing antics of animals, such as deer and rabbits walking into lakes or moving through solid objects. These unexpected and comical behaviors add a lighthearted charm to the gameplay experience.

    • “The only issue the game has is its collision; if you're at the right place at the right time, you can watch deer and rabbits walk into a lake and down to the bottom, then walk right up and out the other side. It's funny sometimes watching them walk through rocks or even seeing bunnies walk backwards and in circles.”
