  • monetization
    220 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the lack of intrusive ads and the option to watch ads for rewards. While some users express frustration over the frequency and length of ads, particularly for boosts, most agree that the ads are optional and provide valuable in-game benefits. However, the subscription model for ad removal is criticized, with many players preferring a one-time purchase option instead.

    • “Honestly, the fact that there's no ads shoved straight down your throat definitely makes it a nice experience.”
    • “It has some in-game purchases, but they aren't necessary to complete the game.”
    • “Almost no ads, only rewarded ads, which is fantastic!”
    • “The subscription to keep ads away really brings the game down a couple of stars.”
    • “When they finally added a way to get rid of the ads, they did it in the worst scummy way possible by making it a monthly subscription.”
    • “I wanted a one-time purchase to remove all ads because in my older age, I realized my time is way more valuable than I used to think, and I refuse to spend any of that time watching brainwashing, brain-rotting, time-wasting ads.”
  • graphics
    117 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are widely praised for their vibrant, stylized art style and smooth animations, contributing to an enjoyable and relaxing gameplay experience. Players appreciate the cute character designs and the variety of visuals, which enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. Despite some minor issues with loading times, the graphics are considered a standout feature, making the game visually engaging and fun to play.

    • “The graphics are great, the characters are cute, and the gameplay is relaxing while at the same time motivating you to keep playing.”
    • “Absolutely stunning visuals and music.”
    • “The graphics are beautiful, it's simple to play, very relaxing, and does not heat my phone up. Thanks devs for making this game awesome!”
    • “Loading takes far too long for what this game is, and it appears that the GUI and the loading code are all processing together, as noted by the stuttering graphics.”
    • “Strip away the graphics, and this game is nothing more than a counter that tells you how many times you've tapped your screen.”
    • “I've played this before, and the graphics along with the gameplay are pretty normal overall!”
  • gameplay
    80 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, smooth graphics, and addictive nature, making it a standout in the idle clicker genre. However, some players express a desire for more variety and faster progression, as the game can feel slow and repetitive over time. Overall, while the game offers enjoyable and relaxing gameplay, it could benefit from additional features and improvements to maintain long-term interest.

    • “The graphics are great, the characters are cute, and the gameplay is relaxing while at the same time motivating you to keep playing.”
    • “Great and addictive gameplay with easy to understand mechanics.”
    • “There definitely needs to be more variation in gameplay if you want to keep casual players interested. I'm not saying to reinvent the wheel, but just adding some pay-to-win competitive events doesn't work.”
    • “30 minutes of gameplay will get you almost nowhere and leave you feeling disappointed with yourself.”
    • “But it takes way too long to actually advance in gameplay and do something worthwhile.”
  • story
    39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story has received mixed feedback, with many players appreciating the initial backstory involving crabs seeking revenge but expressing a desire for more depth and development throughout the gameplay. While some find the narrative engaging and fun, others feel it lacks significant progression and complexity, suggesting that additional story elements, cutscenes, or events could enhance the overall experience. Overall, the story is seen as a positive aspect, but players are eager for more content and clearer progression in quests.

    • “I love the backstory and how they somehow gave a tapper game a story.”
    • “Its a super fun game to play when you're bored or don't have anything to do, and I loved the story in the beginning about how the crabs are getting revenge on the reptiles for eating them before.”
    • “The game has a good storyline and good gameplay.”
    • “Overall it's tight; it needs more storyline to it, but it's still time-consuming.”
    • “You tap and grow and you can level up and get more items, but there is no story or sense of danger—just a game that's a bit simple.”
    • “Great game to pass time on, perfect UI and mechanics for an idle clicker game; I also love the aesthetic. The only thing I could wish for was more story elements.”
  • music
    35 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is widely praised for its calming and relaxing qualities, often compared to the soothing soundtracks of games like Terraria. Players appreciate the ambient melodies that enhance the gameplay experience, making it enjoyable for both casual play and meditation. While many enjoy the current soundtrack, some users express a desire for more variety in music options.

    • “I love the game, love the music; it's peaceful and easy to play.”
    • “The developers have put so much time and hard work into this, and it's so appreciated: beautiful graphics and really calming music with addictive gameplay.”
    • “The music is really fitting for the tap-and-waste-time style of the app.”
    • “Namely, watching an advertisement to get a reward often times boots me off the game entirely, or I can't exit out of the ad at all, or it shuts down anything else - music, video, etc. - that was playing at the same time.”
    • “The music is really fitting for the tap and waste time style of the app.”
    • “Only thing I'd like to see is maybe different music types?”
  • grinding
    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while early game progression is slow and tedious, later stages introduce overwhelming mini-events and challenging enemies that require significant grinding. Some users appreciate the addictive nature of the game and the enjoyable upgrade system, but many express frustration with the repetitive tasks and slow progress, particularly in the late game. Overall, the grinding can be seen as both a necessary part of the gameplay and a source of annoyance, depending on individual player preferences.

    • “The progress gets kind of slow when you are about late game and it gets grindy.”
    • “But the combo of little explanation of the more complex stuff, needing to watch ads to progress combined with ads crashing the game 75% of the time - not giving you the reward as well, and just an insane amount of grinding you have to do past the early game.”
    • “Early game is very slow and grindy and late game introduces so many mini events it becomes overwhelming.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players report a generally stable gaming experience with minimal lag or glitches, praising the game's enjoyable mechanics and graphics. However, some users have encountered specific issues, such as freezing during ad playback and event-related glitches that hinder progress. While many find the game rewarding and fun, the occasional technical hiccup suggests room for improvement in stability, particularly during special events.

    • “The graphics are good, and there are no glitches. The game rewards you for completing certain tasks, which makes it feel fair compared to other games. I would definitely recommend downloading it!”
    • “The stability of the game is impressive; I can leave it running in the background and still earn rewards. It's a great feature that enhances the overall experience.”
    • “I appreciate how smooth the gameplay is without any interruptions. It really makes a difference in enjoying the game.”
    • “I love the game, but I am having an issue now for a long time. Every time I watch a video, it's that Coin Master game and it freezes my game, and I have to restart. It's the only ad available, and each and every time it freezes the game, I have to restart and I don't get the bonus from the ad.”
    • “Base game is fun; however, I keep getting glitches with event butterflies not giving rewards for video plays. Not to mention that I sank almost 2000 pearls into the scarab event to get no scarab or the buffs from collecting the runes. If the events could be debugged, this idle game would be a solid 5.”
    • “It freezes when trying to collect conch shells, and completely closes when trying to collect gems.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game has received mixed feedback; while some users report smooth performance after initial loading, others experience long load times and stuttering graphics, particularly during the loading process. Issues with connectivity and cache management have also been noted, indicating that optimization could be improved further. Overall, despite these concerns, many players still praise the game's performance and enjoyability.

    • “Can take a while to load at the beginning, but then runs smoothly.”
    • “Very good performance, and the ads are very manageable. This game deserves more than 5 stars! I played this game a year or two ago and re-downloaded it just a few months ago. This game is amazing!”
    • “Loading takes far too long for what this game is, and it appears that the GUI and the loading code are all processing together, as noted by the stuttering graphics.”
    • “It's stuttering during the 23% loading phase. I don't know why, but it works if I clear the cache. However, I have a strong internet connection, yet the game says it can't connect. I've tried clearing the cache and force stopping the app, but nothing is working. My internet speed is 45 Mbps. Please fix this!”
  • humor
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is appreciated by players, who find it both funny and engaging, contributing to an enjoyable experience. However, some users note that the game has darker themes, suggesting a need for a balance between humor and sensitivity, particularly to make it more kid-friendly. Overall, the absence of intrusive ads enhances the fun and comedic elements of the gameplay.

    • “This is one of the best kinds of games out there; the visuals are stunning and it's funny.”
    • “The most fun game I've ever played and funny at the same time. No forced ads; games without ads that pop up are true games. Thank you, developers, for making a game that I can have fun on.”
  • atmosphere

    Players appreciate the game's vibrant and bright atmosphere, highlighting its beautiful colors. However, some express a desire for an option to remove numerical displays for a more immersive visual experience.

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game stands out in the idle genre due to its lack of aggressive in-app purchases and features a unique ecdysis mechanic, contributing to its significant replay value. Players appreciate the depth and variety that encourage multiple playthroughs.

    • “Something really sets it apart from other idle games - it doesn't push in-app purchases on you at all, and has massive if not complete replay value due to the ecdysis mechanic.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game emotionally engaging, noting that it evokes feelings of relaxation and enjoyment, while also highlighting the competitive spirit among players. The combination of fun mechanics and social interaction contributes to a positive emotional experience, earning high praise.
