The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs such as collision problems and disappearing environmental hazards, which hinder gameplay and detract from an otherwise promising concept. These issues are particularly frustrating given the game's beta status and impact its suitability for streaming or broader showcasing.
- “I understand that this game is quite the huge undertaking for an indie studio, but releasing an incredibly buggy game is just not the way to go.”
- “For streaming on the platform Twitch, I would have liked to show it to all, because I love the concept, but the game is still in beta phase and too buggy. In 3 out of 4 new games, I had collision bugs and poison areas that disappeared, which killed my character.”
