Any opinions on how this mode currently stacks up on its own? (Not just a fun distraction from the main game).

Haven’t had a chance to try it, but if it’s anything like Adventure mode from the freeware version(which I believe is sorta the point), it’ll be frustratingly entertaining.

I haven’t played it, but here’s a write-up from someone else:

From what I’ve seen, don’t expect a polished, marketable “Beta” or “Early Access” even. It seems like they really rushed to get this one released by the date they chose in advance (one of the dev’s birthday I think?), and therefore is missing tons of features and in many cases just straight up broken.

I’m gonna wait til this one is a little more baked before giving it a try, otherwise I’m worried the ensuing frustration might ruin the mode for me once it’s actually working as intended.
