The gameplay features straightforward mechanics with limited variety, primarily focusing on farming elements that allow players to save money for upgrades. However, the increasing cost of upgrades requires more time investment in farming, leading to a sense of repetitiveness and a lack of cohesion in the overall design.
“Good to see the farming mechanics included (such as saving money from your run to gain an eternal power-up).”
“Mechanics are pretty straight-forward and don't expect much variety here.”
“Mechanics are pretty straightforward and don't expect much variety here.”
“This mechanic costs more gold with every click on the upgrade, so that also increases the amount of time you will have to spend on farming.”
“Honestly, it seems like someone's fifth attempt at making game mechanics stick together cohesively for a coding project.”

However, as the cost of upgrades increases with each purchase, the grinding can become increasingly tedious over time, despite its initial enjoyment.
