The gameplay has potential but is hindered by significant issues such as lack of control customization, no controller support, and numerous visual and technical flaws. While players express a desire for continued development and new content, the current quality feels underwhelming and reminiscent of an inexperienced developer's first project.
“I advise you to purchase, but I wish the developers not to abandon the game. Continue to develop it, add new locations and mechanics, and make the game even more beautiful and interesting!”
“No rebinding controls, no controller support, plethora of typos, visual/resolution issues, and most importantly the gameplay quality you'd expect from a 12-year-old making their first game in GameMaker Studio.”
