grinding
1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unenjoyable, particularly in the later levels where the focus shifts from engaging gameplay to a convoluted puzzle of managing linked doors and buttons, leading to frustration rather than fun.
- “Worst of all, those same levels, particularly in the 4th world, cease to be about track layout and rapidly degenerate into a bizarre game where all you do is spin the level and highlight doors as you try to decipher which arrangement of your limited buttons will keep the doors and gates open without accidentally closing one. The doors are linked, but depending on which door is connected to the button, different doors link to the same door, and frankly, that whole process is painfully tedious and not even remotely fun.”
