Créateurs et joueurs s'accordent sur l'appréciation globale du gameplay, des graphismes et de l'audio, ces aspects étant majoritairement salués des deux côtés. En revanche, l'interface utilisateur (UI) cristallise une divergence majeure : unanimement critiquée par les joueurs, elle est pourtant jugée positivement par les créateurs, révélant un décalage entre expérience pratique et présentation.
