grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, with some suggesting that the levels lack uniqueness and variety. Additionally, the sensitivity of camera angles can hinder the experience, making the grinding feel more frustrating than enjoyable.
- “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
- “On the negative side though, camera angles can be very sensitive and this game would have been 10 or 15 minutes if it wasn't insanely sensitive. I think you should add more gameplay mechanics because out of the 7 levels so far, if you made more with what was currently on the plate, it's going to be tedious and repetitive. So make sure each level is unique and fun.”
