The music in the game features multiple themes, but players note that a single track tends to dominate due to the constant tournament setting. While the overall quality is considered nice, the short looping duration of around 10 seconds can become repetitive.

Users note that while the gameplay allows for various activities between tournaments, the lengthy wait times can disrupt the flow, making the experience feel somewhat disjointed as players rush to make purchases before the next event.
“While it's completely possible to do all those things between tournaments, it does break the gameplay a little, going through long wait times before rushing into buying things before starting the next tournament.”

The monetization in this Kairosoft game is minimal, as players earn cash consistently regardless of their actions. However, unlocking characters adds an engaging layer, requiring participation in contests and strategic advertising based on team traits.
“The monetization system feels exploitative, pushing players to spend money to progress at a reasonable pace.”
“It's frustrating that the game heavily favors those who are willing to pay, making it nearly impossible to enjoy without spending real money.”
“The in-game purchases are overpriced and the rewards for spending don't feel worth it, leading to a disappointing experience.”
