The game's story is largely perceived as minimal or non-existent, with some users comparing it to casual games like "Candy Crush" in terms of narrative depth. However, there are hints of a potentially epic story that could develop, leading players to hope for more plot expansion in future updates.
“Epic story.”
“No story.”
“It's like playing 'Candy Crush' for the story.”
“It feels like it hints at more, and I really do hope to see more of a plot or story for why things are the way they are if the game has plans for growing.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be time-consuming, often requiring significant investment to collect items and resources. While some appreciate the frequent events that offer collectible drops, many feel that the slow progression of unlocking new automation features adds to the tedium of the grinding experience. Overall, the grind can be seen as both a necessary part of gameplay and a source of frustration.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“Instead, each new automation unlocks as a slow drip, making it feel tedious.”
“Speaking of the fields, this is a decent way to gather carrots; it just feels somewhat tedious.”
