### Cons

- Lack of updates for years; players want new content or sequels.
- Requests to bring back classic modes like Falling Fred and other nostalgia-era features.
- Controls could be improved with more touch/swipe options instead of relying on tilt.
- Gore/blood toggle missing or not easily configurable; players want a setting to disable gore.
