The game shows promise but suffers from occasional bugs and FPS drops, typical of early access titles. Despite these issues, players find it enjoyable and worth the investment, especially given its small development team. Many are hopeful for future optimizations and updates to enhance the experience.
“Nice little game to kill some time. My friend and I got hooked very quickly. Yes, it's early access and it shows with the odd bugs and FPS drops, but considering it's developed by just three people, it's very impressive. It's more than worth the money, as I'm getting more game time out of this compared to spending 40 quid on a AAA game and only getting 8 hours tops. I'm looking forward to updates and optimizations, but it's definitely worth buying.”
“I personally hope for optimization soon.”
