Gameplay is generally well-received, with many players praising its engaging mechanics and the combination of popular game elements.

“The sound effects are great and the gameplay is very engaging.”

“I like it enough to stick with it a while and see whether the irritation factor decreases... the instructions are clear but a quick tutorial at the start might have been less annoying than the drip feed method of introducing new gameplay at each level.”
“The graphic overhaul is good; however, gameplay has now been affected since you decided to do away with daily chests to reach the weekly goals of bronze, silver, and gold. It now requires you to 'shop' for coins and necessitates online gameplay to progress.”
