  • optimization4 mentions

    The game's optimization is widely criticized, with players experiencing significant performance issues, particularly for a 2D clicker. Users recommend limiting the frame rate through system settings to improve performance, and many express disappointment over the developers prioritizing non-Steam versions for updates. Overall, urgent fixes are needed to enhance the gaming experience.

    • “If you do play this, try to limit FPS through your system settings to improve performance.”
    • “I hope there will be updates soon because the game needs an urgent fix for performance issues. We have to force the FPS cap through our graphics control panel. It seems that the developers are prioritizing non-Steam versions, adding new scenarios, but we are still waiting for improvements here. They have provided endless free help, but that doesn't enhance longevity or enjoyment. For now, it's extremely enjoyable for short relaxation sessions.”
    • “Awful optimization, the game runs unacceptably slow for a 2D clicker. I am honestly impressed by how they were able to achieve this.”
    • “I hope there will be updates soon (now 1 Nov 2024) because the game urgently needs a 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 still not here. It's sad. They provided endless free help, but that doesn't enhance longevity or enjoyment.”
    • “If you do play this, try to limit the FPS through your system settings to improve performance.”
  • monetization3 mentions

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for feeling exploitative, with microtransactions designed to encourage players to spend money on hints for difficult objects that are poorly integrated into the gameplay. Reviewers suggest that the game initially had potential but ultimately devolved into a cash grab, making the microtransactions feel unnecessary and unappealing.

    • “The monetization strategy is cleverly integrated, offering players the option to enhance their experience without feeling forced to spend money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game provides a fair balance between free content and optional purchases, allowing players to enjoy the game without pressure.”
    • “The microtransactions are reasonable and don't disrupt the gameplay, making it easy to enjoy the game without spending a lot.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”
  • music3 mentions

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

    • “The art is cute, and the music is nice.”
    • “I can understand that this game may not be for everyone, even for the experts of hidden games, but I think the target is relaxation 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.”
  • graphics2 mentions

    The game's artwork is praised for its quality and variety of levels, contributing to an enjoyable experience. However, players are experiencing performance issues that require manual adjustments to maintain frame rates, and there are concerns about the developers prioritizing non-Steam versions for updates. Overall, while the graphics are appealing, the need for urgent performance fixes detracts from the longevity and enjoyment of the game.

    • “The artwork looks great, and I really like how there are so many levels.”
    • “The graphics are outdated and lack the polish expected from a modern game.”
    • “I was disappointed by the low resolution textures; they really detract from the overall experience.”
    • “The visual effects are underwhelming and fail to create an immersive atmosphere.”
  • gameplay2 mentions

    Gameplay is characterized by a mix of challenging object hiding mechanics, which some players find unfair, but the availability of unlimited free hints mitigates this frustration. The reliance on paid hints for monetization raises questions about the developers' intentions, suggesting a possible oversight in balancing the game's difficulty.

    • “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?”
    • “Given that paid hints is 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.”
  • humor1 mentions

    Players find the humor in the game to be enjoyable, particularly appreciating the funny artwork and the satisfaction that comes from collecting items.

    • “It is really satisfying to collect everything, and some of the art is really funny.”
    • “The humor in the dialogue had me laughing out loud; it's clever and perfectly timed.”
    • “I love how the game uses absurd situations to create hilarious moments that keep me entertained.”
