stability10 negative mentions

The game offers a creative sandbox experience similar to Garry's Mod or Roblox, allowing players to build and customize levels with physics and ragdoll mechanics.
It has a dedicated solo developer who actively listens to the community and is working on improvements and new features.
The game's tools and options provide a lot of potential for creativity and unique game modes, especially with multiplayer and scripting capabilities.

The game is buggy and unstable, with frequent crashes, confusing menus, and poorly implemented building mechanics causing frustration.
It suffers from a low player base, dead multiplayer servers, and lack of active updates which limits community engagement and content availability.
Many core features are locked behind a paid pro pack, and the $15 price is seen as unjustified given the barebones and unfinished state of the game.

The game is enjoyable but suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, glitches, and glitches that hinder gameplay and creativity. Many users find it frustrating due to these problems and suggest waiting until it moves out of early access for a smoother experience.
- “It's quite fun, but very buggy.”
- “I really want to play more and create some game modes as I have many ideas for this game, but in its current state it is hardly playable due to all the bugs and glitches, creating what you want is more tedious frustration than actual creation.”
- “The game in its current state is buggy and hard to do much in.”

The humor in the game is widely appreciated for its quirky ragdoll physics, absurd glitches, and bizarre character transformations, which often lead to hilarious and unexpected moments. Many players enjoy the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the gameplay, especially when shared with friends, resulting in nonstop laughter—even if some of it stems from the game's bugs and crashes. Overall, the humor is a key highlight that adds a unique charm and entertainment value.
- “The fact you can turn into a ragdoll anytime is so brilliant and amazingly funny.”
- “Playing this over the past 2 nights has provided me with hysterical, side-splitting laughter, and even though it's mostly at the game and not with it, it's still so so funny in almost every aspect; the way that all parameters you're able to adjust in the menus are able to be slid to 92 quintillion, including the customization options of your avatar, rendering you something resembling TV static when pushed too far; how you're able to just press 'x' to ragdoll, and if landed in the right way on some geometry will send you flying at mach 5 towards the boundaries of the map; the indescribable way an NPC will fold into its centre of gravity in a black-hole type fashion if made aggressive, making it a Kronanberg type creature until it stops moving; the way you spawn into every session either within your character's skull staring at the back of your own eyeballs or trapped inside a rock or an orange cube.”
- “It's a very interesting game and it's very funny, I played it with my friend and it was very funny!!!”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users appreciating the cartoony art style and overall pleasing visuals, while others find them outdated and lacking polish. Performance can be smooth on good computers, though some criticize the graphics quality alongside other technical issues. The game offers solid visual tools that support creativity, despite some complexity in editing builds.
- “The game has good building tools and graphics in general, but the developers could make a simpler way to edit builds and to allow more creativity without getting lost in the menus.”
- “Lots of potential, note, this game will need a good computer to run smoothly. You can turn down the graphics settings, so if you have a good computer and you're thinking of getting this, go for it.”
- “Very easy to use and the graphics are pleasing to look at.”
- “The physics are bad, the controls are bad, the graphics are quite bad, and it's also very unfinished and not thought through.”
- “Graphics in 2019.”
- “It reminds me a lot of Garry's Mod but with a neat cartoony art style and everything is in the game for you to use already.”
monetization

Monetization in the game is heavily centered around in-game purchases and a pro pack, with many features locked behind paywalls, leading some players to view it as overly focused on cash grabs. While the concept and gameplay are appreciated, the frequent prompts to buy the pro version and limited free content negatively impact the experience.
- “It's pretty fun but limited; most stuff is locked behind in-game purchases or the pro pack. If I developed this game, I would either make it all free (though I see why not to) or have it only be the pro pack with no extra purchases. If this game offered more for free players, I would rate it higher.”
- “I played this not too long ago, and developers like these love to copy Minecraft and make games riddled with microtransactions, buggy, sometimes badly optimized, and always online. I hate these kinds of games that think they can get by copying other game devs' work to make a profit.”
- “It's mostly a cash grab to get people to pay for pro. If you click anything outside of the edit window, it takes you to the store page to buy pro.”

- “It's fun, the gameplay is similar to Garry's Mod and has a lot of potential.”
- “The multiplayer map builder mechanic is cool, but it needs to be monitorable by the host.”
- “Honestly didn't even get around to testing most things like animation or gameplay because I imagine they're just as broken and janky as the building system.”
- “This game is kinda bad. I played it and the game mechanics of playing and making are really bad.”
