The game is frequently described as "buggy," with issues such as unresponsive inputs during simultaneous character actions and a lack of saving options, forcing players to restart after failures. While the gameplay is considered fun and engaging, these stability problems significantly detract from the overall experience.
- “Be aware that it gets buggy and does not recognize some inputs when both characters are moving and grabbing stuff at the same time.”

- “I really like the art style of this game but it's really buggy, and as a person playing it with a keyboard, I want to change some settings, especially if it's a 2-player game. Also, if you want to play it solo, it's hard; the AI is a bit annoying, and there are no save points or save files, so you need to start all over again.”
