The game's stability is criticized for its frustrating mechanics, such as the inability to pause time in certain areas and the risk of losing progress after being defeated by enemies. Players report that unexpected game overs can lead to significant setbacks, undermining the overall experience.
- “You can only save the game when entering a portal, which makes it frustrating to search for items. Time freezes when you enter a house or your 'town of friends', so you can't wait for day to return. Shadow ponies can reach you while you're flying, and if they hit you down to 0 HP, you just get a message saying you're rescued by your first friend, but then the game deletes your progress.”
- “The game frequently crashes, making it impossible to enjoy the experience. I lost hours of progress due to these stability issues.”
- “There are constant glitches that disrupt gameplay, such as characters getting stuck or disappearing entirely, which makes it hard to progress.”
