The gameplay has been widely criticized for being repetitive, tedious, and lacking in engaging mechanics, with many players noting the absence of keyboard support as a significant drawback. While some appreciate the graphics and character design, the overall experience is marred by buggy mechanics and a lack of innovation compared to better free alternatives in the genre. Players often find themselves performing the same tasks with minimal variation, leading to a monotonous experience.
- “I can say that this game is an absolute masterpiece; the graphics are good, mechanics are good, controls are simple, character design is amazing. The upgrade option is a little bit expensive, but other than that, the game is awesome.”

- “The PC version of this game, instead of the mobile phone version, contains no microtransactions, but on the 5th level, the game forces the player to try the bell mechanic.
