Players note that grinding becomes more prominent in the late game, requiring repeated level replays to accumulate money for items and achievements, as well as to enhance their wild card deck. This aspect may lead to a more tedious experience as players seek to progress.
“In the late game, it becomes quite grindy as you'll need to replay the same level multiple times to earn money for purchasing items and ultimately unlock all achievements.”
“You'll need to do some grinding to build up your wild card deck and accumulate money for buying special help items.”

The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on in-app purchases, particularly for wild cards, and it appears to be a direct port from its mobile/tablet version without adjustments for the Steam platform, leading to a perception of being overly focused on monetization.
“Hmm... this might be one of those games that started as a phone/tablet game with in-app purchases, and they want you to buy more wild cards.”
“I've seen one that is blatantly skewed towards in-app purchases, and they didn't change it for Steam.”
