The stability of the game is criticized for being plagued with numerous bugs and glitches, leading to a sense of an unfinished product. Players report issues such as erratic vehicle behavior and the ability to walk through terrain, which detracts from the overall experience. While the immersive environment is appreciated, the lack of polish significantly impacts gameplay.
“It's a good start, but there are a lot of bugs and glitches. I was throwing the car around and walking through and under the mountains. I walked so far that I couldn't see any rocks or mountains anymore. This simulation really feels like an unfinished project.”
“You can then walk wherever you want and pick up some objects, but the experience is marred by the instability of the game. The highlight of this app is being able to grab onto the steering wheel of a buggy, but that's not saying much.”
“There also needs to be a quick move option. The buggy should be usable, and the ability to pick up Martian rocks and sand would be good, but the current stability issues make it frustrating.”
