Additionally, some players note issues with idle mechanics and bugs that hinder progress, suggesting that while the core gameplay has potential, it is marred by ad overload and technical problems.

- “Seems like a really chill game, but hopefully they can have it not stop my music while playing.”
- “Great game, but it needs music to go with the gameplay.”
- “But the worst part is every time the app is opened or coming back from an ad, my podcast or music gets turned off. I don't mind the quick 5-second ads except for the game turning off my audio player (I've tried with 2 separate apps).”
- “You cannot have music in the background; the game stops it automatically, and you cannot turn it back on at all.”
- “It's an okay game, yet I give two stars to any game that doesn't let me listen to a music app at the same time.”
