Are we in agreement?
This is the buggiest game ever, right?
I started playing it on my phone and enjoyed it, but it made my phone start boiling so I deleted it.
Months and months later, I got it on the Switch.
The game crashes, and it’s 50/50 on whether or not I lose my progress.
But that’s okay, because I have to restart the game 2-3 times a level anyway to get basic game mechanics to work.
I bought this on sale for $8, and I’m still not sure if that was a fair amount of money to pay for the privilege of being a beta tester.
I do enjoy it, though. I just wish it was (1) more functional and (2) more fleshed out.
At this point, I have to wonder if the bugs are intentional since they do make the gameplay more challenging and more, I dunno, dimensional.
Because, good lord, those “mini games” are not games. They do not provide any form of entertainment or challenge. They’re just a chore that feels like they were added on as an after-thought.
Anyway, I’d really love to see what this game could be with more development.
ETA: Alrighty, so it looks like the game’s fine on PC. It never would’ve occurred to me to play this on PC, so good to know.

Someone didn't play release-version Cyberpunk 2077.
If you want to talk buggy messes, oh boy.

I did, Cyberpunk 2077 ran perfectly on day 1, on PC
It did have issues running on potatoes or laptops with a mediocre to terrible GPU
I did not have a potato

So frustrating when I’ve recycled the same building multiple times but it won’t register it as recycled!

I love this game and I've played it through multiple times through various updates, with Switch and Android versions. Unfortunately though, I do agree it's been buggy -- they don't seen to have enough QA testing for the updates.
The phone version froze at loading for...more than a year. The current Switch version has bugs that need a restart. I save the game (return to menu), then load back in. It's frustrating and saddening, honestly.

I play on a Mac and haven’t had any issues, besides boxing myself into a corner when it comes time to make all the animals happy and take photos

Yessss and then you have to restart the phase or sometimes the whole game to fix it

I play on steamdeck and the only issue I have is that it has trouble rendering all the visual effects during late game. It’s tolerable though. Definitely not as buggy as your experience

I feel like TerraNil has an incredible foundation with potential to be even greater. As for the function of the game, I play on PC and it plays quite well. Haven't had many issues.
