Players express frustration with the grinding required to earn gems, which are necessary to restore lives and progress through challenging levels. The need to continuously grind for gems to access cheat codes can lead to a tedious experience, prompting some to abandon the game altogether.
“They'll cost you 500 gems every time, so you'll find yourself grinding for gems just to be able to afford to consistently restore your 2 or 3 available lives after hitting a tricky segment, allowing you to keep progressing in a level without starting all the way over.”
“However, when I caught myself grinding for gems just to be able to afford enough cheat codes to have a shot at beating the second level, I had to walk away.”
