The graphics system in the game allows players to utilize multiple graphics cards, but users have reported significant limitations when attempting to upgrade or replace existing cards, particularly if lower-tier models are already in use. This restriction can hinder overall performance and flexibility in optimizing graphics capabilities.
“The graphics card in the game gives you 0.0005 bitcoin/minute.”
“You can have about 10 graphics cards at one time, but there is yet another problem that happens with the GPUs.”
“If you used up all of your GPU slots with crappy GTX 1050 Ti's, you cannot swap them out for GTX 1080's, or any graphics card for that matter.”

The monetization strategy of Rewindapp has been criticized for being exploitative, with many of their titles viewed as low-quality cash grabs that rely on asset-flipping and cloning popular mobile games, rather than offering original content.
“Rewindapp has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab.”
“This publisher has a few decent titles, but most of them are cash grab piles of garbage trying to dominate the PC market with their cheap asset-flip spam that are all just clones of popular mobile games.”

Reviewers note that the game has limited replayability due to a lack of upgrades, with fewer than ten available, which is considered insufficient for a clicker game.
“I believe that there are less than 10 upgrades, which is incredibly low for a clicker, especially one with no replay value.”
“Once you complete the game, there’s really no incentive to play again; it feels like a one-and-done experience.”
“The lack of diverse paths or choices means that replaying the game feels more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
