One of the biggest problems I have with the Cavern update is that you cannot rotate items. This just creates an extra challenge when decorating rooms. But of course, if you could rotate items, that would mean more assets would have to be created. Honestly, to me, it sometimes feels like the Digital team is too excited/anxious to release new updates, as they often come incomplete. Heck, the game itself was basically incomplete, even after the beta ended. I can’t help but think that part of the reason for this is the fandom.

Also, the idea of visiting your friends’ houses is fundamental when it comes to implementing this feature in a game. AJ handles it very well since you can search usernames, but it’s so tedious and time-consuming to find which friend you’re looking for in Kart Kingdom. The reason why is because Kart Kingdom’s dialogue options are so limited.

Something I’ve felt since joining the game is just how empty it is. You could meet a friend in the game, but there’s virtually nothing to do because there’s no PvP. In the end, you just end up running around, changing your appearance, and spamming emojis, because there’s just nothing else to do. You can’t even carry a decent conversation. I’ve been in situations like these a lot, and I’ll be honest — I wasn’t really having fun. I ended up saying I had to go because it was too awkward or boring and I wanted to spend my time doing something else.

In any case, it’s due to this limited interaction that many players try and get as many friends as possible. Since friendship is mostly based on things you have in common, and you can’t convey that in the game, the purpose of “friends” exists solely to have them, unless you actually know them very well, but that’s a rare case. Because of this, it’s nearly impossible to find who you’re looking for in your friend list in order to visit their house.

I should also probably mention that AJ houses have a lot of interactivity from what I remember. It’s the little things, like squeezing plushies. Kart Kingdom houses don’t have that, and as a result, they feel very flat.
