Crashes and freezes29 of 300 (10%)
Solid recommendation up untill the very last stage, where it seems like no playtesting was done and the game crashes for a LOT of players by the last boss, robbing you of that sweet victory.
Steam review, 26 March 2020 · 6 hours played · 20 readers marked it helpful
It shows a lot of progress and plays well, but I, like many players, ran into the infamous "Crash at last boss" scene.

A further 15 reviews call the game buggy or broken without saying how, which is why they are counted separately rather than assigned to a theme. Counted by keyword across review text, so a review discussing two problems is counted under both. Read the reviews yourself.
