Incredibly fun to play with friends, especially with the Friend Pass system that allows only one person to buy the game for everyone to join.
The gameplay is a great blend of tension and humor, with both the worm and pardner roles being enjoyable and engaging.
The game is easy to pick up, has a charming aesthetic, and offers a lot of customization options for characters.

The game can feel unbalanced, especially with the worm being overpowered in smaller lobbies, making it difficult for pardners to win.
Finding public lobbies can be challenging due to a low player base, often requiring players to coordinate with friends or use Discord to find matches.
Some players have reported bugs and issues with joining games, which can detract from the overall experience.
