The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs that disrupt gameplay, such as improper building combinations and unresolved game endings. These glitches hinder strategic planning and lead to player frustration, resulting in a recommendation against playing until they are fixed.
“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).”
“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.”
