The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[1]

gollark: Sorry, mid-August.
gollark: They were catapulted back into (greater) prominence after the release of "beware apioforms" in late August.
gollark: "Apioform" began to be used as an insult-type thing soon afterward.
gollark: This helped popularize the word, and was quite fun.
gollark: Anyway, after the initial introduction of apioforms came the heav-4 apioform game.
