It let me down; not only did it take a long time to load, but the music would not play unless I viewed an advertisement. Even then, it was laggy to play. I like the concept, just wish it was better implemented. You had limited customization, and events took too short of time for a casual player limited on rotation.”
- “Good, but since it wasn't really for my device, its music wasn't playing at all.”
- “Used to spend money on this game, now not so much, because I can never stay in the game without it crashing to the home screen. Now, with the newest update, the game crashes as soon as the in-game music starts!”

Players express frustration with the game's replayability due to repetitive character usage and lengthy job durations, which hinder engagement. The removal of purchased content without warning further diminishes the incentive to replay, suggesting a need for a redesign of event mechanics to enhance playability.
- “Bought the Area 51 building for clams via real cash, which gave 14 clams per day, and they have taken it away with no warning. Using the same 6 characters to do every single event is a bit stupid and annoying. The jobs on certain characters take way too long; 8 hours is diabolical for a low drop rate. A redesign on how events work is way past due to make it more playable.”
- “The lack of variety in events makes replaying the game feel tedious. Once you've seen one event, you've seen them all, and it quickly becomes a chore rather than an enjoyable experience.”
- “After completing the main storyline, there’s little incentive to replay. The side quests are repetitive and don’t offer enough new content to keep me engaged.”
