Overall, the game is deemed unplayable for those without capable hardware.

The gameplay is criticized for being monotonous and less engaging than expected, with players finding it easy to start but quickly losing interest due to repetitive mechanics and a lack of meaningful progression after the initial stages. Additionally, the controls are described as unintuitive, further detracting from the overall experience.
- “The gameplay itself is a lot more boring than the screenshots portray. It was nice to go in having common sense and already knowing what hashrates are, so the game was pretty easy to get into. However, as time progressed, I could no longer take the phone buzzing and mindless waiting for the market to go up to sell my bitcoin.”
- “Controls aren't particularly intuitive, and there isn't much point to the game after the first 30-45 minutes of gameplay.”
