- Gameplay is very limited, with little to do beyond steering the boat, leading to a lack of engagement over time.
- There are significant technical issues, including bugs that prevent proper interaction and a lack of instructions for new players.
- The environment feels empty and repetitive, with no land, other boats, or meaningful objectives to pursue.
