- The maze design is frustrating and poorly executed, leading to repetitive gameplay and unnecessary deaths.
- Controls are confusing, with key mappings not aligning with on-screen directions, making navigation a chore.
- The easy mode does not significantly improve the experience, as it merely reduces enemy presence without addressing the core issues.
