The randomization of towers adds a layer of replayability and forces players to adapt their strategies on the fly, making each playthrough feel different.

Lack of options to pause or control wave timing can create a sense of constant pressure, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.

The game combines tower defense with farming and fishing mechanics, creating a unique and engaging experience. Players find the farming aspect satisfying, as it ties into a variable market that requires strategic timing to maximize profits between waves. The addictive nature of merging towers and the colorful presentation further enhance the overall enjoyment of the grinding process.
