The music in the game is generally described as pleasant and calming, enhancing the overall experience for many players. However, several users have noted that the soundtrack features music that appears to be copied from other games, such as "Stumble Guys" and "Pet Simulator X," which has led to mixed feelings about originality.

“This game is awesome; the game has everything you need to relax, the music is good.”

“Ok so when I started on the food truck and then I heard copyrighted music because I recognized it from Roblox Wacky Wizards, but everything else about the game is good.”

While some appreciate the engaging and time-wasting nature of the grind, many express frustration with its repetitiveness and slow progression, especially in mid-game events.

“I love how the grind leads to real progress; it keeps me engaged and motivated to keep playing.”
“The optional ads provide great benefits without interrupting the flow of the game, enhancing the overall experience.”
“It's not bad when you only have a few products to upgrade, but when you get toward the mid-game of some of these levels like the weekly events, it starts getting a bit too tedious buying one upgrade at a time.”
“I had given this app 5 stars before today, I was full on grinding the event from the minute it opened, I had all but one plant and some as high as 480 and all of my progress just got deleted, including all the cards I got from the safe.”
“The game has become an artificial frustration in a vain attempt to monetize it; no fun at all as progress becomes tedious.”
