The monetization model of the game is generally well-received, as it avoids intrusive ads and allows players to enjoy the game without mandatory purchases.

“Fun, simple, no ads unless you want bonuses.”
“Good time waster, no forced in-game purchases to enjoy the game.”
“A bit too locked up behind in-game purchases.”
“After paying to remove ads, the game seems to eventually and purposefully plateau to the point where it's just way too hard to advance anything without more microtransaction purchases.”
“You pretty much have to watch ads or participate in events that don't last nearly as long as they should, and they require you to be active to get the event currency.”
“A bit too locked up behind in-game purchases.”

The game is generally enjoyable, but many players find it becomes increasingly grindy, especially in the late game, where the need for materials and upgrades can feel tedious. While some appreciate the grinding mechanics as a time sink, others feel it detracts from the overall experience, suggesting that it may require additional content or adjustments to improve balance. Overall, the grindiness is a mixed bag, with players either embracing it or finding it frustrating.
“Game is super fun up to late game then gets super grindy real quick.”
“Not that bad a game but it'll get really grindy since materials get really costly and even harder to reasonably get once it gets even remotely late so prepare for a grinding session.”
“Ehh, very grindy, starts off fun but it ends up giving you more to grind for.”

“Amazing idle game, no forced ads, the gameplay is relaxing, and the upgrades actually feel like upgrades.”

“Some mechanics are weird but not a bad idle game.”
