    • “The progression is fun, cool easter eggs, and I don't feel the need to use the microtransactions.”
    • “A fantastic game, no ads unless you are trying to earn things and it has tons of content and things to do.”

    • “Fun to play, but ads won't play anymore, and without speed boost and time skip, the game gets tedious fast.”
    • “The game is great, but how do I unlock the outfit? Maybe overtime, or do I watch an ad in order to unlock it?”

    • “If they'd come up with new characters entirely or a different storyline, I could accept it... but this feels like you just caved to make money.”

  • grinding67 mentions

    Overall, players find the game to be quite grindy, especially in the later stages, where leveling up and progressing can become tedious and time-consuming.

I normally get 65-100 bonus points per reset and don't reset often, only two or three times per month. I hope you can see how this is problematic and extremely frustrating.
