The gameplay is criticized for being extremely limited, with users noting that it only offers about half an hour of actual playtime, leading them to suggest that the game is not worth its current price and should be significantly cheaper.
“With some serious elbow grease and a lot more content, I could see this being worth $5, but as it stands with literally half an hour's worth of actual gameplay, I would honestly say this is worth like 50 cents.”
