Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat present, noting that it can feel tedious at times. However, they appreciate the nostalgic elements, despite some frustrations with the tile matching mechanics that could benefit from improvements.
- “Tile matching isn't as smooth, though. I hope the dev fixes this up (some leeway should be given across tiles because you can miss a tile just because you didn't trace over the center of it exactly). Other than that, and being slightly grindy, I love the nostalgia.”
- “The grinding in this game feels excessive and detracts from the overall experience. It often feels like I'm just repeating the same tasks over and over without any real reward.”
- “I enjoy the game, but the amount of grinding required to progress is frustrating. It makes the gameplay feel tedious and can really kill the fun.”
