Les joueurs et les créateurs s'accordent sur la qualité des graphismes et de l'audio, salués unanimement comme des points forts du jeu. En revanche, ils divergent sur l'interface utilisateur et les bugs, les joueurs exprimant une frustration marquée tandis que les créateurs, en nombre très limité, n'abordent ces aspects que de manière anecdotique ou mitigée.
