Gameplay is enjoyable and intuitive, allowing players to quickly grasp the mechanics despite a lack of comprehensive tutorials. While initial runs may be challenging, players can find a satisfying rhythm after some experimentation. However, there are concerns about the clarity of certain mechanics and the functionality of selling to merchants.
“Those first few runs were rather rough, but after about five minutes testing the mechanics and my own luck, I managed to settle into a satisfying pace.”
“Otherwise, it's a fun little game and I look forward to seeing what else is done with it.”
“Could use better information on how the game's mechanics work, and I don't think selling to merchants works yet either, but otherwise is a fun little game and I look forward to seeing what else is done with it.”
“Those first few runs were rather rough, but after some five minutes testing the mechanics and my own luck, I did manage to settle into a satisfying pace.”
“Use a small manual or tutorial to introduce the mechanics, but they are intuitive enough for anyone to figure them out on their own.”

The monetization strategy is likened to deceptive mobile game ads, suggesting that players may encounter mechanics designed to encourage spending on boosts, equipment, or other enhancements, potentially detracting from the overall experience.
“My first impression was that it felt like those fake game ads for mobile games, where you'd go in a direction to get a boost, acquire new equipment, or fight a monster.”
“The monetization system is overly aggressive, making it feel like the game is designed more to extract money than to provide a fun experience.”
“I found the in-game purchases to be frustratingly necessary to progress, which really detracted from my enjoyment of the game.”
