The gameplay is characterized by engaging mechanics, particularly with card elements, but it struggles with its idle classification, requiring constant player attention rather than allowing for true automation. While the core loop is enjoyable and offers layers of progression, some players find it becomes a grind without significant new content or mechanics after initial goals are met. Overall, it provides a mix of active engagement and gradual automation, appealing to those who appreciate a more hands-on approach in idle games.

- “I like the card mechanics, as it adds more to the game.”
- “New content and game mechanics are revealed at a decent pace, stuff gets gradually more automated as you go, upgrades are satisfying, and there are multiple layers of progression.”
- “Very active gameplay, in ways that don't respect your time.”
- “Solving this 'puzzle' gives you endless wins, but since there are no further gameplay elements, it just becomes a grind for the sake of more grind.”
- “Currently I've played 3.7 hours, have prestiged 4 times, and I have yet to find any kind of automation or sign of idle gameplay.”
