    833 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay. While some players are willing to watch ads for in-game currency, the frequency and placement of ads—especially those that block essential gameplay elements—have made the experience less enjoyable. Additionally, the subscription model for ad removal is viewed as excessive, leading many to feel that the game has shifted from a relaxing pastime to a frustrating cash grab.

    • “There are little to no ads and it's so satisfying!”
    • “No ads, very relaxing, and beautiful pictures to color/stitch.”

  • music
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users expressing frustration over intrusive audio ads that disrupt their listening experience. While some players enjoy using the app alongside their own music or podcasts, there is a strong desire for the inclusion of relaxing background music within the game itself. Overall, players appreciate the relaxing nature of the game but feel that the current ad situation detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “Very nice to do while listening to music and relaxing.”
    • “Is a great game for if you're bored and you can listen to music and relax playing this.”
    • “You can't listen to music or watch videos while playing because it pops an audio ad every 15 seconds.”
    • “One ad seems to annoy me with blaring audio; I play this game while listening to music or podcasts and put it on a high volume, so when the ad comes up, it's so loud and overshadows the other audio that I have going. I can't even mute the ad or decline seeing it.”
    • “I can't listen to my book or music without it being interrupted every 5 seconds with an ad.”
  • stability
    40 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent freezing and glitches, particularly during ad displays, which often require force-closing the app to resume gameplay.

While some players find this repetitiveness therapeutic and enjoyable, others feel it can become frustrating and overly reliant on in-game purchases. Overall, the experience is a mix of tediousness and fun, appealing to those who appreciate a slower-paced gaming style.

    • “It is a very tedious therapeutic game in which you just tap.”
    • “You need lots of patience; it's too tedious and nerve-wracking.”

    • “Runs smoothly with no necessary ads.”
