The gameplay is described as solid and quirky, featuring unique mechanics like fishing pachinko and roguelite dungeons that enhance the farming/life sim experience. However, players express frustration with the limited inventory space, which hampers the overall flow and pacing of the game.
“A little on the quirky side, but solid gameplay for a farming/life sim game.”
“Very unique spins on typical mechanics (fishing pachinko + pet farming + card/skill acquiring).”
“Dungeons are fun and incorporate roguelite mechanics.”
“My biggest and only con is the inventory... you have so little space, so you're constantly having to drop things. I'm nearing about 20 hours of gameplay and there still have not been any inventory upgrade options besides buying an expensive drone. The other way to upgrade I hear is a card for your pet, but I haven't seen that anywhere.”
“Very unique spins on typical mechanics (fishing, pachinko, pet farming, card/skill acquiring).”
“Better pacing and gameplay flow than many farming games.”
