The game is described as enjoyable but plagued by numerous bugs and glitches, making it difficult to play and create effectively. Many users express frustration with its instability, suggesting that it is currently more of an early access mess than a polished experience. Players recommend waiting for further updates before diving in, especially if they are averse to buggy gameplay.
- “It's quite fun, but very buggy.”
- “The game is really fun, I've been playing for 2 hours and it's really cool, physics and etc. but it is still really buggy; sometimes when I toggle fly mode, I keep falling through the map.”
- “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 humor in the game is widely praised for its absurdity and unpredictability, with players enjoying the chaotic ragdoll physics and numerous bugs that lead to hilarious moments. Many reviewers highlight the game's ability to generate laughter, often at its own expense, making it a fun experience, especially when played with friends. Overall, the combination of bizarre mechanics and unexpected outcomes contributes to a uniquely entertaining atmosphere.
- “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 rag-doll, 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 center of gravity in a black-hole type fashion if made aggressive, making it a Cronenberg 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.”
- “Its a very interesting game and it's very funny, I played it with my friend and it was very funny!!!”

monetization

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn criticism for being heavily reliant on in-game purchases and a pro pack, which many players feel limits the experience for free users. Reviewers express frustration over the prevalence of microtransactions and perceive the game as a cash grab, with some suggesting that a more inclusive model could improve player satisfaction. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as a significant drawback, detracting from the enjoyment of the game.
- “It's pretty fun but limited; most content is locked behind in-game purchases or the pro pack. If I were to develop this game, I would either make it all free (though I understand why that might not be feasible) or have it be solely the pro pack with no extra purchases. If this game offers more for free players, I would rate it higher.”
- “The monetization model is reasonable, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money. However, some additional free content would enhance the experience for everyone.”
- “I appreciate that the game offers a pro pack for those who want to invest more, but it would be great to see more options for free players to access additional content.”
- “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 can see why not to do that) or have it only be the pro pack with no extra purchases. If this game gets more for the free players, I would rate it higher.”
- “I played this not too long ago, and developers like these love to copy Minecraft and also make them riddled with microtransactions. The game is buggy, sometimes badly optimized, and always online. I hate these kinds of games that think they can get by with copying other game developers' work and make a profit off of it.”
- “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.”
