The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs that disrupt gameplay, such as buildings failing to combine and improper game endings. These glitches hinder strategic planning and lead to player frustration, resulting in a lack of recommendation until they are resolved.
“For such a simple game, disappointing glitches abound, including buildings/fields that level up but retain the lower-level items in place around them, destroying attempts at strategic planning.”
“I cannot recommend until and unless the glitches are addressed.”
“I do get frustrated at times when it's 'buggy' (i.e., the buildings don't combine when they should, or the game doesn't end when there are no tiles left).”
