Alright, I tried it out for a few minutes (might go for a longer session later)

I had my laptop on power saver at this point, and when it's on power saver, it takes at least a minute to fully load Survival 303, assuming I can actually load the game in the first place. When I have it plugged in, it depends on who is on my WiFi at that point. I was on school Wifi (honestly, worst connection for me) and on power saver. Sometimes it doesn't even load my music on Grooveshark properly. My home Wifi is quite a bit faster, and when my laptop is on High performance mode, it is a 50/50 chance that the game will even load. And it takes at least 20 seconds to do so (first-world problems).

I have 4 GB of RAM on my laptop, and I use it a lot everyday. It's not a gaming computer either; I didn't expect to be running Roblox on it when I purchased it. While on power saver, the load was almost instant. That scored a 10/10 in my view. I would love to try it out on my family's Mac mini, but it's not my computer to use for gaming.

The gameplay was quite smooth. I found no lag at all when I was swimming. I wasn't able to get buildings down since I only had a few minutes, so I wasn't able to test it out to the full extent. And I didn't have my wireless mouse with me and I hate using my trackpad only to play Roblox.

I'll probably try it out again tomorrow in more depth, since I have a reception tonight to go to and it's frowned upon to take a laptop. I'll probably record a game session too, to fully present the experience.

Personally, I think it would be great to enable streaming, but there are some cons. Pros would the fast loading times on slow connections and limited RAM space.

However, and this is just my personal opinion (my OCD opinion), aesthetics are something that are not that appealing. Mithril locations and deathwater cave can all be revealed if your character is at the right angle. It might be difficult for new players who have not memorized the map to find an island which is not in the initial vicinity of the player.

This was collected in only a few minutes, so it doesn't go into much depth. But I do hope it helped, somewhat.
