The game's stability is currently hindered by numerous bugs and glitches, similar to those found in a competing title, People Playground. While it shows potential and offers a fun experience, players are advised to consider the more established game for a more stable experience.
- “I have enjoyed myself playing this game and it is fun - has a lot of potential - but currently I would really recommend you just get People Playground instead. This game isn't a rip-off, and while it and People Playground share a lot of the same bugs and glitches, it is new and there is a lot less content and the modding is not there. So for now, I think I have to say just get the other game; they're the same (or very similar) prices too, if I recall correctly.”
