The gameplay is characterized by a simple and innovative drag-and-drop mechanic that allows players to interact with pets even when other windows are open, setting it apart from traditional idle games. Players can collect various pets and power-ups, enhancing the overall experience while maintaining a calming effect. The developer's experience in idle games is evident, as they incorporate familiar mechanics with a fresh twist.
“The developer clearly has experience with idle games, and the mechanics that someone who has played a lot of them would expect are mostly there.”
“This game features simple gameplay that is easy to understand and enjoy.”
“A game in which we can pet pets, the game has a lot of items with different power-ups, which simplifies the gameplay. We can get pets through eggs by buying them.”

The graphics in the game are generally considered minimalist, with some elements, particularly the pets, receiving praise for their quality, while others are noted as needing improvement. Users report mild bugs, such as issues with scientific notation, but overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's appeal, especially when combined with enhanced UI responsiveness and new features.
“About the game: a good clicker, with nice graphics.”
“Better graphics, more animals, even more kyoote, massively improved UI responsiveness, some great new features, etc.”
“The graphics are minimalist in many cases; while some pets have perfect graphics that should never be changed, others could use some work. Additionally, there are a few mild bugs, such as scientific notation not being correctly represented.”

Players express a desire for a more immersive storytelling experience, suggesting that the pacing of quests and heart-building activities should be slowed down to allow for deeper engagement with the characters. The abundance of quests and rewards indicates a structured narrative, but the fast progression may detract from the emotional connection to the story and its lore.
“To be honest, I would like to see some aspects slowed down so that I spend more time actually petting and building heart levels with my favorites rather than just spamming eggs because I completed hundreds of quests and got thousands of hearts after an hour or so of playtime.”
“There are even a ton of quests for each animal, for the helpers, and for doing 'point pet bonus round', etc.”
“There is a quest system with rewards.”

Players note that the game involves significant grinding, akin to traditional JRPGs, particularly for leveling up "heart levels." Despite this, many find the gameplay enjoyable and a good way to pass the time, especially for fans of animals and farming.
“I know this says idle, but it might as well have been a JRPG with how much grinding I had to do to get 'heart levels'.”

Overall, the game is well optimized, delivering high performance on a GTX 1070. However, players have noted a significant drop in FPS during the "pet bonus time," which affects gameplay.
“The game is well optimized.”
“GTX 1070 has very high performance until you get the 'pet bonus time' for a few times; for some reason, it steals FPS.”
“The GTX 1070 performs well initially, but during 'pet bonus time', it inexplicably drops frames significantly.”
