    • “The game is free to play, with no purchases or microtransactions required.”
    • “In the Discord, you will witness them constantly hosting tournaments, events, and advertising themselves or other YouTube channels playing the game, while the bug/technical difficulties channel is probably the most ignored channel by the devs, despite receiving a lot of bug reports every day.”
    • “As of right now, this is extremely glitchy in so many ways, and the developers clearly do not care about fixing the game or your problems, as they are too focused on community events and advertising a broken mess.”
