The game's grinding mechanics are a significant aspect of the experience, with many players noting that while it can be tedious and time-consuming, it also adds depth and strategy to gameplay.

The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with many users reporting frequent freezes and crashes, particularly when placing towers or using newly unlocked turrets. While some players note minimal bugs and praise the overall experience, the recurring issues with freezing significantly detract from gameplay for others. Overall, stability remains a notable concern that developers may need to address.
“My biggest complaint is that it often freezes completely when I place multiple towers of one type and then a tower of a different type in quick succession (without looking at an existing tower, for example).”
“But after returning to it a couple of days ago, I started experiencing random freezes occurring when I'm about to build something.”
“The only downside so far is that the first time I try and use a new turret that I have unlocked, it freezes the game and I have to restart it.”
