The game shows potential but suffers from stability issues, including occasional glitches that detract from the experience. Reviewers suggest that quality of life adjustments and patches are needed to enhance its intuitiveness and overall functionality. While it has artistic merit, it currently feels more like a project than a polished game.
“I do like the game, actually, at least on a conceptual level. The main reason my review is negative is that I think it needs some quality of life adjustments and a few patches to fix occasional glitches. To be honest, I think the game missed some really nice opportunities; the developers could have done a lot more with it.”
“If you make it a bit more intuitive and fix the glitches, I think it's a nice little art project, not exactly a full game, although if you wanted, you probably could make it into one.”

The atmosphere is generally well-crafted, with effective sound effects contributing to the mood; however, the simplistic art style leaves room for improvement in visual feedback. Reviewers express a desire for more variety in creatures, locations, and events within the game, as the brief duration of around five minutes limits the opportunity to fully appreciate the atmosphere.
“The atmosphere and the mood were done relatively well, with good choices of sound effects overall. That said, considering the simple art style, I wish there was a bit more visual feedback. They could have done a lot more with it, like adding more creatures, a few more locations, or perhaps some events inside the mech.”
“I really wish it was a little longer; I mean, it's only about 5 minutes. You're doing a good job with the mood, but it ends so fast that you don't get to fully enjoy the atmosphere.”

“The game has a decent atmosphere, but it feels lacking in depth. The environments are repetitive, and the sound design doesn't quite elevate the experience as much as it could.”
“While the atmosphere tries to engage players, it ultimately falls flat due to a lack of variety in settings and a limited range of sound effects that fail to create a truly immersive experience.”

The graphics are characterized by a simple art style that effectively conveys atmosphere and mood, complemented by good sound effects. However, reviewers express a desire for more visual feedback, including additional creatures, locations, and events, suggesting that while the visuals are charming, they feel underdeveloped and more like an artistic concept than a fully realized game.

“I really liked the idea and the simple visuals. It's like Iron Lung with 2D pictures, which is very cute. I just wish you would have done more with it; right now, it comes across as an artistic idea more so than a complete game.”
