The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs, character animation glitches, and freezing, particularly when attempting to take shots. Users recommend avoiding the teleport feature to minimize glitches, as walking the course seems to yield a more stable experience.
“However, these are pretty buggy and need to be improved, as the rifle goes right through your chest, and your character holds the pistol in a very strange manner.”
“The game freezes, and I have to force close it every time I walk to my second shot.”
“The teleport feature causes glitches, so just walk the course as intended to avoid issues.”

The game's heavy rock/metal music plays persistently during startup and in the menu, even when the master volume is lowered, which frustrates players who wish to listen to their own music while launching the game.
“The heavy rock and metal music that plays at startup and in the menu creates an intense atmosphere, but it doesn't fade even when the master volume is lowered.”
“It's a bit frustrating that I can't listen to my own music while launching the game, as the game's soundtrack takes precedence.”
“One thing I noticed is that the heavy rock/metal music that plays at startup and when you go to the menu does not go away even if you lower the master volume.”
“This is a little frustrating, as I would like to listen to my own music and not have it be an issue while launching the game.”

“The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay engaged; it often feels like I'm just going through the motions.”
“I find the grinding mechanics to be tedious and uninspired, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
