Players express a desire for more options, puzzles, and multiple endings to enhance replayability, suggesting that expanded in-game developer tools could provide a deeper experience. Despite these wishes, the game remains enjoyable in its current form.
- “I only wish it would offer more options, puzzles, and maybe different endings as well to give a higher replayability. Expanding the in-game developer tools could provide a more 'behind the scenes' approach, but for what it is, it's fun nonetheless!”
