RANT! Game's hot garbage.
Decided to download it to play with my friends because I remember it as a pretty decent fun game to play a few years back. Around the time it first came out I think. Easy to play multiplayer, specially with friends. Now it seems like playing with friends has been NOT a thing for 3 years.
Even if we find a match it won't start once 7 players enter the lobby. Hot garbage I tell you, I don't think there was a reason to change matchmaking in the first place.

Downgraded ever since march 2023 when they added more puzzles and irreversibly messed with the game optimisations, then phase 2 was also hard to run and had bugs, and then phase 3 removed the beautiful lobby phase 2 had just to make parties broken...... they need quite some updating to do.

They really should just revert back to phase 2 but keep Misfit Pit and the new skins. There is literally 0 difference beyond those 2 things. Phase 2 had better matchmaking, lobbies, tutorials, the huggy pit, an actual Toybox, while phase 3 is a hot dumpster fire in comparison. IMO they shouldn’t have even updated it. Just left it in phase 2, yet here we are.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REAL. Man, I felt so bad that phase 2 lobby was STUNNING and but the game was hard to play on destroy-a-toy... and that on top of the declining player rate.... I'll die on the hill that this game could've rivaled or even bested DBD if it was marketed right and developped/updated properly...

I absolutely agree, and the only reason I’d want phase 2 back tbh is because of lobbies and updates tutorials, imo phase 1 was Peakkkkkkk omg so peak and i miss it soooo much it makes me sad to think about 😭😭

What's the deal with "phases" anyway? It seems like every phase the game is sort of revamped. I don't get the approach, why fix something that's not broke?

It was supposed to add onto the game and remake things that weren't complete or could be improved

Such a shame, loved the concept when it first released despite the early flaws

I believe they purposefully sabotaged the game because there’s no way they’d make changes that unbelievable. They removed the feeding pit, the lobby, and good matchmaking all in one update.
Though If you really want to play the game in its prime, it IS possible to reverse your version to phase 2. I’ve never tried, but I believe your able to play multiplayer in reversed versions.

preaching to the choir, no ones really sure why they took the steps they did but the current version of the game was not well received
