“Cute story about the power of friendship, but lacks the gameplay complexity of other games.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it both vivid and heartwarming.

“The game is also funny and heart-warming, so in the end I thoroughly enjoyed it.”
“So far Angela hasn’t had quite the charm that her sister Emily’s games have attained (an observation I’m sure Angela would hate, sibling rivalry at its finest!), but she’s funny and fabulous and I can’t say I don’t enjoy her games.”

Players find that while many achievements in the game are enjoyable to pursue, one particularly demanding achievement requires scoring 500,000 points, necessitating repetitive grinding of certain levels to reach that goal.
“Most of the achievements in the game are fun to get, but one of them demands you score 500,000 points in total. You won't get anywhere near that by just playing through the game, which effectively forces you into grinding some levels over and over to reach that goal.”
“The grinding in this game feels excessive and tedious. It takes away from the enjoyment of the gameplay and makes it feel more like a chore than a fun experience.”
“I appreciate the depth of the game, but the amount of grinding required to progress is overwhelming. It feels like a never-ending cycle that detracts from the overall enjoyment.”
