βZynga is way behind in graphics and ideas that other companies have; they seem to be stuck back in the 90's.β
βHowever, with the recent update, the graphics of the game are not good; everything is pixelized and the graphics are awful.β

Players express frustration with the grinding aspect of the game, citing issues with tightly controlled reward systems that hinder progress and lead to tedious gameplay. While some appreciate the competitive elements and graphics, many find the advancement process to be overly repetitive and lacking in excitement, making it feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience. Overall, the grinding mechanics detract from the game's potential, with calls for improvements and more engaging content.
βUnfortunately, the algorithm that controls the randomness of reward spins is so tightly controlled that they are useless for getting what you need to continue the game, and the lesser bonus prizes cause the very limited storage to overfill, which brings the game to a grinding halt!β
βThe game is grindy and pointless; the NPCs are exactly the same. I once saw three of the same character in the same place at the same time.β
βSince I do mind, I'm finding advancement tedious and not worth the stress.β

However, many users express frustration over frequent in-app purchases, high costs for premium currency, and technical issues related to ads and purchases, leading to a perception of the game as a "money pit." Overall, while some players find the monetization model fair and optional, others feel it detracts from the overall experience.
βFun game to play, and I have several in-app purchases.β
βVery fun and doesn't require in-game purchases to have fun.β
βThe game is free to play; however, in-app purchases are available for additional content and premium currency.β
βIt keeps showing in-app ads every 15 seconds now while I'm trying to collect the daily bonus!β
βIt's really frustrating after I've done an in-app purchase and can no longer access the game.β
βThis game is a money pit, forced updates, snail pace gameplay... task set around advertisements... storage capacity update ridiculously expensive... lost interest after a short while.β

βPoor gameplay, app freezes causing multiple restarts to get it going again, events come too close together, and can't earn enough diamonds within the game to make a difference while playing.β
βWas getting annoyed with all the extra challenges (could you make them so you can opt out and they disappear out of your gameplay and leave you alone?) so I took a little break and I come back to find all of my months and months of progress gone.β
