The gameplay is characterized by a fun loop and charming visuals, but it suffers from a lack of meaningful rewards or outcomes, such as a scoring system for catching monsters, which detracts from the overall experience.
- “Very cute art and a fun gameplay loop!”
- “I also wish there was some kind of 'reward' or even just a counter/high score system for how many monsters you catch, since in the end it doesn't mean anything and there was no point to the time mechanic or any outcome of 'catching as many as you can'.”
- “In summary, there are some cute sprites and a good idea behind this game, but it is lackluster in its gameplay, which keeps me from recommending it.”
