The gameplay of the game shows promise with interesting mechanics and a unique concept, but it suffers from bugs, a lack of depth, and a grindy resource management loop that can become tedious.

While some appreciate the simple interface and relaxed gameplay, many feel that the game lacks meaningful progression and innovation, leaving it feeling unfinished and uninspired.

- “Quite an uninspired gameplay loop.”
- “The game is a product of very low imagination and high hopes for making a money trap; you will need to spend months of your real time to play it to its highest level, and with no real gameplay, you can simulate that effect using your system time and date settings.”

Overall, the consensus is that the game suffers from excessive grinding, making progress feel slow and unfulfilling.
