    The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users reporting severe performance issues, including low frame rates and frequent crashes, even on low settings. While a few users praised the graphics as "fantastic" and a good use of Unity's engine, the majority found them lacking and poorly optimized, leading to frustration and disappointment. Overall, the consensus suggests that the graphics are subpar and contribute significantly to a negative gameplay experience.

    • “You have to have a really good graphics card to get at least a playable 30fps.”
    • “I would give the graphics a 3/1000.”

  • gameplay12 mentions

    The gameplay has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users citing poor mechanics, server issues, and significant lag, leading to a general consensus of frustration. While some players appreciate the concept of hide and seek, the execution is criticized as lacking depth and stability, resulting in low overall ratings. In-game purchases do not enhance the experience, and technical problems detract from enjoyment.

    • “There are in-game purchases in the form of hats/headwear, but they do not have any impact on gameplay.”
    • “The only gameplay-related issue I can think of is that the seeker can kind of puppy-guard the safe zone.”
    • “Amazing gameplay, I mean who doesn't love hide and seek.”
    • “The only gameplay-related issue I can think of is that the seeker can kind of puppy-guard the safezone.”
    • “Game mechanics in general are pretty bad too.”
    • “There are absolutely no servers, I can't host a server, just the title screen makes my computer lag to the point where it's hard to do anything even though the graphics are all simple and polygonal, and it looks like after I finally found some random server my game crashed immediately after a minute of gameplay. Please update and work on all of this; it's a good idea because I barely see any games like this, but my overall rating is 3.5/10. If this was an alpha release, then this would be alright, but it should not be the full released game.”
  • stability6 mentions

    Overall, stability reviews for the game are mixed; while some players report a smooth experience with no significant issues, others encounter frequent crashes and freezing, particularly during loading and server hosting. Minor bugs are noted, but they do not seem to detract significantly from gameplay for most users.

    • “Bad game, when I make a game it freezes while loading then crashes, legitimately unplayable.”
    • “Just freezes and says it is not responding.”
    • “Some of the game's GUI is quite buggy, especially when you try to host a server.”
  • humor4 mentions

    The humor in the game is highlighted by amusing glitches, such as players getting stuck out of the map, and lighthearted elements like a graveyard that adds a friendly touch. Players enjoy the comedic moments that arise from hiding spots and the interactions between friends, creating a fun and laughter-filled experience. Overall, the game successfully incorporates humor that resonates with players, enhancing their enjoyment.

    • “The graveyard was a nice little friendly touch, and even though I do not know the people, it was funny and brought a smile to my face.”
    • “Simple to jump into and play, lots of cool map elements and heaps of buggy places to hide in (and on), which is hilarious when your friend hiders are dead and spectating. Everyone laughs when your buddy can't find you, but you can see him.”
    • “Friend got clipped out of the map, so flipping funny.”
  • optimization3 mentions

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, with players reporting poor performance regardless of their graphics settings. Many users experience extremely low frame rates, even on high-end hardware, and the limited number of public servers further exacerbates the gameplay experience.

    • “The only thing about this game is the fact that it's poorly optimized.”
    • “There are a maximum of 8 or 9 public servers out there, and half of them have passwords. The game is not optimized at all; I have a GTX 750 Ti OC and I play on ultra with 8 to 20 FPS, but I get the same FPS with medium or even low settings.”
    • “Very bad performance and dead.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    The monetization strategy primarily involves cosmetic in-game purchases, such as hats and headwear, which do not affect gameplay. However, players feel that the developer's focus on microtransactions detracts from the overall experience, leading to dissatisfaction with the game's development and support.

    • “There are in-game purchases in the form of hats and headwear, but they do not have any impact on gameplay.”
    • “It feels pretty dead, and it seems that the developer got what they wanted, which was to steal your money through microtransactions and leave the game in the same poor state it was when it was released.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players indicate that grinding in the game can be quite demanding, often requiring significant time investment or multiple attempts to progress effectively.

    • “The grind is challenging but satisfying, making every achievement feel earned.”
    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
