The gameplay is characterized by simple yet engaging mechanics that gradually introduce new features, making it beginner-friendly and enjoyable for resource management fans. However, some mechanics, like the balloon and supermarket systems, rely heavily on luck and can disrupt the overall experience, leading to repetitive gameplay. While the game offers a cozy atmosphere and a polished feel, players note that it can become tedious without proper pause or save options, and the depth of gameplay may be limited in its current state.
- “The gameplay itself isn't bad - it's less an idle game and more of a resource management incremental game, which is fine; I like that kind of thing regardless.”
- “This is such a fantastic game, it's such an awesome game to spend hours playing. The campaign is great and introduces a new mechanic in every level, so you don't feel lost in infinite mode, and it doesn't feel like it holds your hand too much or too little.”
- “Great gameplay loop, fantastic music, the perfect hurry up and chill out vibe.”
- “The balloon mechanic is particularly problematic.”
- “The math behind the balloon mechanic is simply non-existent.”
