“Big fan of the mechanics and gameplay loop.”

“So, try out the demo; it has a generous amount of gameplay.”
“The gameplay loop on each 100-floor range is exactly the same: look for 3 crystals to break while upgrading your drill and mining ores.”

“The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged.”
