The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent glitches that disrupt gameplay, particularly during significant progress or interactions with in-game elements like the shark. While some players express a strong affection for the game despite these issues, the prevalence of glitches remains a notable concern.
“It's a pretty good game, but it glitches whenever I make significant progress.”
“Take out the shark or at least make it so it doesn't glitch on your boat. Also, take out the run feature; it glitches you into the water, which is when the shark glitches onto your boat. Additionally, make it so you don't lose hunger and thirst so quickly and have more seaweed.”
“I love it; it just glitches on my phone.”

Users express a desire for games with simple concepts and intuitive controls that enhance replayability, though one reviewer noted difficulty with the controls that hindered their ability to assess the game's replay value. Overall, the potential for replayability seems contingent on improving control mechanics and item retrieval.
“I am looking for something with a simple concept and intuitive controls with decent replayability.”
“(Edit: To be fair, I couldn't tolerate the controls long enough to see if it was replayable. Change the move and look to a circle on either side of the screen (or something similar) that changes speed based on how far the input is from the center and make the items that float by easier to retrieve.”
