Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, citing numerous bugs, poor image quality, and frequent ad interruptions that detract from the overall experience. The repetitive nature of similar colors for different letters also adds to the annoyance, making the gameplay feel less enjoyable.
- “There are a lot of bug fixes that need to be addressed, and it becomes more tedious than relaxing. Many images looked poorly after I completed them, filling in areas I didn't click on. The game is also very spammy with ads; any time you receive a gift, it's either watch an ad for 3 power-ups or an ad for 1, which interrupts the whole coloring experience. Additionally, when 3 different letters are the same color, it's quite annoying, and that happens with almost all of them.”
- “The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged. I often find myself doing the same tasks over and over without any real sense of progress.”
