  • optimization
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players reporting unacceptably slow performance for a 2D clicker, necessitating manual FPS limiting through system settings. Many users express disappointment in the game's design and scaling issues, while hoping for urgent updates to address these performance problems, particularly as development seems to prioritize non-Steam versions. Despite these issues, some players find short relaxation sessions enjoyable.

    • “If you do play this, try to limit fps through your system settings to improve performance.”
    • “I hope there will be updates soon (now 1 Nov 2024) because the game needs an urgent fix for performance issues. We have to force the fps limit through our graphics control panel. It also seems that the developers are prioritizing non-Steam versions, adding new scenarios, etc., but not here. It's sad. They have provided endless free help, but that doesn't enhance longevity or enjoyment. We'll see how it goes, but for now, it is already extremely enjoyable for short relaxation sessions.”
    • “Awful optimization, the game runs unacceptably slow for a 2D clicker. I am honestly impressed how they were able to do it.”
    • “Other than performance, the game has pretty terrible design; objects are not to the right scale and there's nothing to find, as others pointed out, just a clicker game.”
    • “I hope there will be updates soon (now 1 Nov 2024) because the game needs an urgent fix for the performance issues. We have to force the FPS limit through our graphics control panel. It also seems that the developers are giving development priority to non-Steam versions; they are adding new scenarios, etc., but still not here. It's sad. They provided endless free help, but that doesn't help longevity or enjoyment. We'll see how it goes, but for now, it is already extremely enjoyable for short relaxation sessions.”
  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for feeling exploitative, with microtransactions designed to encourage players to pay for additional content that seems necessary due to poor design choices. Many reviewers feel that the game, which initially had potential, ultimately devolves into a cash grab, making the microtransactions unappealing and the overall experience unworthy of repeat play.

    • “Overall, it feels like a game that had a nice premise and set-up, then the people behind it were replaced with people who lazily shoved tons of objects in and set up microtransactions hoping for a quick cash grab.”
    • “It's definitely not worth doing any of the microtransactions for, and once you go through it once you'll likely never touch it again.”
    • “The most difficult objects tend to have a small portion peeking out like they're behind an object in the background, in ways that tend to be so rarely done as to almost be a set-up to use the search, which of course they'll sell you more of for microtransactions.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is described as adorable and pleasant, contributing to a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Users appreciate the combination of charming sound effects and beautiful scenarios, which enhance the overall experience and encourage players to keep engaging with the game.

    • “I can understand that this game may not be for everyone, even for the experts of hidden games, but I think that the target is to relax and chill. The scenarios and the music are wonderful and they make you want more.”
    • “It has adorable music, and the sound effects are also pleasant. The interface is good enough.”
    • “The art is cute, and the music is nice.”
  • graphics
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's artwork is praised for its quality and variety of levels, contributing to an enjoyable experience. However, players express concerns about performance issues, particularly with frame rates, and feel that updates are lagging, especially for the Steam version. Overall, while the graphics are appealing, the need for urgent performance fixes detracts from the overall enjoyment.

    • “The artwork looks great and I really like how there were so many levels.”
    • “The graphics are outdated and lack detail, making the game feel less immersive than it could be.”
    • “I was disappointed by the low resolution textures; they really detract from the overall experience.”
    • “The visual effects are underwhelming and don't match the expectations set by the game's premise.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is characterized by a mix of challenging object hiding mechanics and an abundance of free hints, which mitigates the frustration of finding certain items. While some objects can be unfairly difficult to locate, the availability of unlimited hints allows players to progress without significant hindrance. This design choice may not have been intentional, suggesting a potential oversight by the developers.

    • “Given that paid hints are this game's only way of making money, I can't imagine it's intentional; the devs will have either just forgotten to remove it, or have hidden it behind some trigger that they thought was obscure but is actually simple to stumble across in normal gameplay without trying.”
    • “The positive here is that this flaw balances out the 'objects are sometimes hidden to an unfair degree'; sure, some objects are basically unfindable in normal gameplay, but you can get as many free hints as you want, so who cares?”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game to be enjoyable, particularly appreciating the funny art and the satisfaction derived from collecting items.

    • “It is really satisfying to collect everything, and some of the art is really funny.”
