The game exhibits some stability issues, particularly when players are in a ship and encounter water interactions that can lead to unintended collisions with walls. Additionally, there are minor bugs that may be more noticeable to experienced players than to casual ones.
“Cons: a bit buggy, especially if you're in the ship and the water reaches you, pushing you into a wall. There are a few minor issues that us ocean liner enthusiasts will notice that the casual viewer may not (i.e. the time on the clock).”
