The game shows promise with its appealing visuals, but players have reported stability issues, including cursor glitches, unexpected enemy spawns, and slow item degradation. These problems can disrupt gameplay, although the developers are acknowledged for their hard work.
- “It looks nice and has a lot of potential, but the on-screen cursor glitches out a bit and doesn't move. Enemies spawn in as one and then turn into 10-20. Items break too slowly, so you can hide in one room the whole time. Sometimes you spawn in a room with super strong enemies, but it's very nice looking, and I can tell you are working super hard. Good job!”
- “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable. I lose progress every time it happens, which is incredibly frustrating.”
- “I experienced multiple bugs that caused the game to freeze, forcing me to restart. This really detracts from the overall experience.”
