Players find the grinding aspect of the game frustrating, noting that early challenges have unreasonably low targets that necessitate repetitive actions, such as intentionally failing to complete levels, which detracts from the overall experience.

“Grinding feels like an endless loop of repetitive tasks that offer little to no reward, making the experience frustrating and dull.”
“The amount of time required to grind for upgrades is excessive, leading to burnout and a lack of motivation to continue playing.”
