Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be largely tedious and unengaging, often involving repetitive trial and error rather than strategic thinking. While some levels can be straightforward, achieving optimal results frequently devolves into a mindless process of memorization rather than skillful gameplay.
“When levels aren't stupifyingly simple (aim at the nearest star at max power and instantly win with 3 stars), they become mindlessly tedious. You know what to do to win, but you're just trying to find the perfect sweet spot to get 3 stars on the first try. This takes no thought or strategy and is mostly just memorizing your last move and using trial and error at its most pointless.”
“The grinding in this game feels endless and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged. Instead of feeling rewarding, it often feels like a chore that detracts from the overall experience.”
“I find the grinding aspect to be incredibly frustrating. It seems like the game is designed to stretch out playtime rather than provide meaningful content, leading to a sense of burnout.”
