The game's story is described as basic and somewhat cheesy, providing just enough motivation to progress through the repetitive resource management gameplay.

Overall, players find the narrative to be a minor aspect of the experience, serving primarily as a backdrop to the gameplay mechanics.

- “Nice graphics, good story, fun puzzles, and loads of fun for children and adults alike.”
- “The story is cheesy but does give you a reason to go on, even though the antagonist has about three lines of text.”
- “So as you progress through the story you do the same steps over again three times from the starting island; it stopped being fun after the second island.”

The gameplay is characterized by a deeper base-building experience reminiscent of "My Kingdom for the Princess," with no time limits and in-game achievements. However, players find it easy and simple, leading to boredom after a few hours, despite the inclusion of match-3 minigames to add variety. Overall, while it offers fun moments, the gameplay can feel shallow and reminiscent of mobile games without the typical monetization elements.

- “It has in-game achievements instead of Steam ones, and the match-3 minigames break up the monotony of regular gameplay.”
- “Gameplay feels a lot like a mobile game with all the microtransactions and time sinks removed.”
- “Gameplay: boring”
- “The gameplay is easy, but gets boring after a certain time.”
- “Mechanics are very, very simple.”
