Players find the grinding aspect tedious, particularly due to the need to reset levels or make precise clicks after mistakes, which can disrupt the flow of gameplay.
“If you make a mistake, you have to reset the level or precisely click on an individual band, which is quite tedious.”
“The grinding feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”

Reviewers note that while the game is affordable, it lacks the depth and engagement found in other inexpensive or free alternatives, leading to limited replayability.
“While it is cheap, there are plenty of other games that are also just as cheap or even free that offer more involvement and replayability than this game, such as (you guessed it!) Peggle.”
“The lack of meaningful choices and variety in gameplay makes it hard to justify replaying this title.”
“Once you've completed the game, there's little incentive to return, as the experience feels repetitive and lacks depth.”
