The game is generally beatable, but players have reported glitches, particularly in the second stage where entering a room from the wrong angle can obscure important elements like torches. Despite these issues, the unique mechanics of each stage leading up to the boss are well-received.
“The game is beatable, but there are glitches in the second stage with the roots. There's one room where, if you enter it from the wrong angle, you can't see the torches to light them.”
