- “The game is incredibly well optimized; most of our group runs on gaming laptops and they didn't have any performance issues.”

- “It feels like a cash grab made off of the Lethal Company hype.”
- “As of right now, it's just a cash grab with a few charming features that has been blown epically out of proportion by content creators.”
