  • monetization
    49 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players noting a significant presence of ads that can disrupt gameplay, often leading to crashes. While some users appreciate the option to earn in-game currency through ads and find the game fair without in-app purchases, others criticize the frequent ads and technical issues related to purchasing options, suggesting that the monetization model feels exploitative. Overall, while the game offers opportunities to earn coins through ads, many players express frustration with the execution and reliability of these features.

    • “The game has some in-app purchases, but honestly I completed the game without them and the game is very fair and balanced where you can easily earn coins from fights, and if you wanted, you can earn some extra coins from watching ads (roughly only 30-second ones).”
    • “I hope there's a paid version with no ads soon.”
    • “I bought 20k coins for 6 dollars, but I didn't get them; I also bought no ads, which I think might have worked, but I need to see.”
    • “Speaking of ads, I tried to purchase the option to remove them and the game gave me an odd error.”
    • “The most annoying part is... ads are after every battle which means I crash every time.”
    • “Great game if it weren't for the ads and how easily you run short on in-game currency.”
  • gameplay
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is generally praised for its simplicity, addictiveness, and engaging mechanics, with many players enjoying the collection and evolution aspects reminiscent of titles like Pokémon. However, some users noted issues with lag, crashes, and repetitiveness, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the combination of appealing graphics, humor, and enjoyable music contributes to a fun and immersive gameplay experience.

    • “The music is phenomenal, the creatures are great, the mechanics are fresh and exciting.”
    • “Simple gameplay, collecting critters is so much fun!”
    • “Awesome gameplay and super fun and easy to control.”
    • “My biggest pet peeve with these mobile games is when it either doesn't deliver much on the gameplay side of things or has a real-time element to it.”
    • “There are no informed decisions to make, no mechanical skill involved, and it takes a couple of hours of tedious grinding to beat the entire game at the moment.”
    • “I rated the gameplay 4 because of how repetitive the game can get; I do like how the bosses have a low chance of dropping items, while the normal enemies have a higher chance!”
  • graphics
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising the cute art style, creativity, and smooth animations.

    • “But the graphics are okay.”
  • music
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives high praise for its catchy, retro soundtrack that enhances the overall experience, with many players describing it as phenomenal and relaxing. However, some users report a frustrating audio bug where music overlaps after watching ads, leading to a chaotic sound experience. Despite this issue, the majority of players appreciate the music's fit with the game's aesthetic and gameplay, contributing to its charm and appeal.

    • “A fun and original game with great music!”
    • “The music is phenomenal, the creatures are great, the mechanics are fresh and exciting.”
    • “Super cute characters, chill RPG elements, amazing music and addicting!”
    • “After that happens, turning music off only removes one instance of it instead of muting the music entirely.”
    • “I know you probably won't update this game again, but if you can, can you fix the audio bug where whenever I play an ad (either to get coins or an ad plays after fighting 5 times), the music would overlap each other to a point where it becomes a series of loud noises.”
    • “The game is great, but there is a bug that even if I'm not playing, music turns on.”
  • humor
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players highlighting the creative and hilarious names of the critters, as well as the amusing combinations and designs of the characters.

    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Many users express frustration over the lack of updates to address these stability issues.

    • “Horrible game; it freezes and glitches every time I play for a while.”
    • “The game is nice but frequently crashes or freezes, which is annoying.”
    • “This game often freezes; change it.”
  • grinding
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently highlight the excessive grinding required in the game, particularly in the later stages, where capturing high-level critters and accumulating gold becomes a tedious chore. While the game features enjoyable mechanics and visuals, the slow pace and repetitive nature of grinding detract from the overall experience, making it feel more laborious than rewarding. Despite these frustrations, some players still find enjoyment in the game, albeit with significant patience required.

    • “What I didn't like is the incredible amount of farming needed to get all 11-star critters; the small chance of capturing them, the gold amount required, and the gold needed to heal your team after battle makes it, by far, the grindiest stage of the game.”
    • “Only took off one star because the final planet to get each level 11 creature is so tedious and grindy.”
    • “There are no informed decisions to make, no mechanical skill involved, and it takes a couple of hours of tedious grinding to beat the entire game at the moment.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is well-received, with players enjoying the engaging storyline and characters, particularly the unique concept of fusing critters. Many liken it to a superior version of Pokémon for Android, expressing excitement for future updates and suggesting the addition of quest-based side missions and a store for acquiring new critters and recipes. Overall, the narrative aspect enhances the gameplay experience and keeps players motivated to explore and collect.

    • “I like the storyline and the characters.”
    • “The idea of fusing critters was a different story arc and was super fun to play.”
    • “It's like Pokémon for Android but way better, especially with the combo system.”

    • “I hope they address the performance concerns soon!”
    • “Turn off music for better performance.”
    • “The only downside is a performance issue.”
    • “Please fix the performance!”
  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
