Players generally find the grinding in the game to be light and manageable, enhancing the overall gameplay experience rather than detracting from it. While some express a desire for more balanced mechanics to avoid turning runs into mandatory coin farming sessions, the initial grinding for coins is seen as a minor and enjoyable aspect of the game.
- “I would have liked to see it be a 2-way item but perhaps limit that to once per run; that way you don't have to force the player into making a good run into a guaranteed coin farming mission.”
- “There's a little grinding at first; you need to harvest coins and then bring them up with the teleporter (rope).”
- “Normally hate grinding, but it was very light and I thought it actually added to the gameplay since it is tuned for easy.”
