The gameplay is generally described as charming but repetitive, offering a few hours of entertainment that may become redundant quickly. While it has a nice, casual appeal, many reviewers note its bare-bones nature in the early access version and express hope for future updates to enhance the experience. Overall, it serves as a decent way to pass the time, though some users advise against purchasing it in its current state.
“There is a lot of potential for more gameplay elements and it's incredibly charming.”
“I would avoid purchasing this game as it has very bare-bones gameplay at the moment.”
“The early access version only has a few hours of gameplay in it before it starts to get redundant, but it's absolutely adorable and I'm very excited for where it will go.”
“The gameplay is a bit repetitive, but I'm curious to see how the different mooj interact and grow as they eat and grow.”

The music in the game is sparse, only appearing during specific events like egg production or nighttime, leading some players to suggest using their own music for a more continuous experience. Additionally, the choice of music is described as peculiar, featuring swing and big band styles reminiscent of the 1940s and 50s, which may not appeal to all players.
“The music choice is very odd - it sounds like swing and big band music from the 40s and 50s that Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra would sing to.”
“The music...well, there isn't too much of it, so if you're like me and need music 24/7, you might want to put your own on while you play.”
“No music at all until random occasions such as an egg being produced or it switches to night.”

The story aspect of the game is somewhat limited, primarily revolving around gathering resources, crafting, and defending against monsters, with quests providing a slight enhancement to the experience. Overall, while the quests add some depth, the narrative feels sparse and lacks significant engagement.
