"Poptop", the winner of the Monster Contest, was loved for its cute looks, but also derided because its colour scheme, looks, and behaviour made it pretty much either a Mawile or Kyubey redesign. You wouldn't believe the shitstorm that was caused by the devs showing off a sentient poo monster. Tiyuri took the time to clarify this in order to appease the community. And it would be better to not talk about the pre-beta/pre-alpha comment from Mollygos and Bartwe which had the effect of a small nuke on the official forums.
Some were happy to see a longer demonstration of the game and the first boss, others were quite disappointed since nothing really new was shown (aside from the boss, and said boss itself created some controversy), and finally some were glad to see the game, but absolutely hated that it was Yogscast members who were playing it (claiming that they were not playing it right or that other people should have been playing it, like the ones who pre-ordered the game).
The demonstration of the game during the Insomnia49 festival was received with mixed feelings.
