Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it becomes increasingly tedious as difficulty rises and reliance on ads for progress is required. While some appreciate the puzzle mechanics, many find the experience dull and repetitive, particularly due to the inability to skip levels and the overwhelming presence of advertisements. Overall, the grinding detracts from the enjoyment, leading to mixed feelings about the game's design and monetization strategy.
“I first gave this game 5 stars, but after playing it for a while I've noticed that the game is getting harder. What is grinding my gears is the fact that every game now can only be completed with extra jars, which is annoying. I know the developers need advertising, but it seems to me this is a faster way to bump up profits, making the game less enjoyable.”
“The '?' levels were interesting at first, but got tedious later on, especially since levels cannot be skipped.”
“Very tedious experience.”
