- Lacks sufficient strategic depth compared to other popular abstract games, which may limit replayability for some players.
- The AI could be improved, as it doesn't match the challenge of experienced human players.
- Absence of a quick reference sheet for scoring and rules can make it less user-friendly for new players.

“Aesthetically pleasing, coincidental mahjong solitaire with the added twist of building within limits, this game loses a bit without the kinetic tile movement but nothing is lost in terms of the tactics, art, and concept of the board game.”
