- “Playtime is mostly from AFK card farming.”
- “This is only for those few people who enjoy getting 100% achievements in a tedious and repetitive game.”

stability

The game's stability is marred by buggy controls and issues with screen push, which can lead to frustrating gameplay, especially in precision-demanding levels. While the graphics and overall fun factor are appreciated, many users feel that the control issues detract significantly from the experience, making it hard to recommend the game despite its interesting style.
- “The controls are buggy, and the screen will push you sometimes, making it very frustrating, especially in parts where you have to be very precise. If you even twitch, you die, and the game just pushes you slightly to the right.”
- “I wouldn't tell someone to buy it though; it's a waste of money even for how small it is. The game is 50 levels, and each level can be beaten in 2-5 minutes, but the controls could easily be fixed and made better.”
- “The last level is filled with spam and is very unforgiving if you don't dodge every little thing. The controls could be improved, especially by allowing left click as a secondary fire option instead of left ctrl.”
