Common complaints:

- Multiple game-breaking bugs exist (weight 0.59): Several bugs make the game unstable or unplayable, including a shift key glitch launching players out of the map, flying physics when shot, broken movement in tree trunk and wild west areas, and crashes upon leaving. These issues frustrate players and break core gameplay.
- Gameplay is shallow and unsatisfying (weight 0.51): Many reviewers describe the gameplay as barebones, boring, not satisfying, and not fun, with a basic concept that does not hold interest. The game feels incomplete and lacks depth or polish.
- Movement mechanics are flawed (weight 0.28): Movement mechanics are reported as bad, inconsistent, and difficult without aids, making control frustrating. Players struggle to navigate or perform basic actions reliably.
- Aggressive monetization alienates players (weight 0.22): Players feel forced to spend money immediately after joining due to a newcomer deal popup and a coin system that lacks daily chests. The monetization is perceived as aggressive and pay-to-win, ruining the free-to-play experience.
- Voice chat is unmoderated (weight 0.22): Multiple users complain that voice chat is filled with young children screaming, profanity, or spam, and there is no moderation or mute system. This creates an unpleasant and toxic environment for players.

- Racing mode is frustrating (weight 0.21): Racing stages are frustrating due to mechanics like being held at the start or unfair knockback, creating a negative experience. Players feel powerless in race mode.
- Fighting balance is poor (weight 0.21): Health in fighting stages is too low, leading to quick deaths, and knockback feels one-sided (only affecting the player). This unbalances fights and reduces enjoyment.

- Combat lacks skill-based gameplay (weight 0.12): Combat relies entirely on who shoots first with no skill gap, making matches feel random and unrewarding. Players desire more strategic depth.
- Too many cheaters in matches (weight 0.12): Cheaters are prevalent in matches, ruining fair play and driving away legitimate players. The anti-cheat system appears ineffective.
- Rounds are too short (weight 0.12): Rounds end too quickly, preventing players from enjoying matches or developing strategies. This leads to a rushed and shallow experience.
- Dying feels unfair (weight 0.12): Deaths often feel unfair due to random or unclear factors, reducing player satisfaction and encouraging frustration rather than skill-based competition.

- Spawn camping is rampant (weight 0.12): Players frequently die immediately after respawning due to spawn camping, which is frustrating and makes gameplay feel pointless.
