- “It's not funny to joke about that, dude.”

The gameplay is heavily influenced by a reset mechanic that can feel frustrating and time-consuming, especially for those unfamiliar with it. While players can earn some in-game currency through events, reliance on this currency for resets may detract from the overall experience. Potential players are encouraged to try the free version to determine if the gameplay suits their preferences.
- “The reset mechanic, unless you're willing to pay the genuinely valuable currency (which thankfully you usually do get a regular, if small, amount of if you participate in events), seems to make the whole thing feel like kind of a waste of time.”
- “It's seriously only the reset mechanic that's making this game a pain.”
- “In short, if you think this game might be for you, try the free version and see if the gameplay is something you like.”
