The gameplay is criticized for its lack of replayability and depth, offering no end game mechanics or engaging story to draw players back. Players find the mechanics simplistic, akin to a basic version of Minesweeper, and feel that even the low price does not compensate for the minimal content and gameplay experience provided.
