Also the pacing is kind of bad, IMO the first three acts are spent with the kids just making random shit with the alchemiter and stuff, and there's a lot of fluff dialogue in between all of that explaining silly jokes about each silly item that they make. The only item that comes in handy later is Rose's wizard wands and the Jetpack and Dave's turntables (which he stops using when he godtiers lol) other than that, its just random silly items that a kid would have fun making in a game like that.

This would be fine if there wasn't like way more interesting things happening during the first 3 acts, like you want to know more about who's 'trolling' the kids, and about Rose's eldritch horror thing, and what happens when they reach the gates etc. But so much of that is kind of pushed to the side for a while because these are 13 year olds making silly items with the silly item maker machine.
