Reviewers express confusion over the lack of dialogue and a coherent story in the game, questioning the role of a credited screenwriter. The gameplay mechanics, particularly the reshuffling of tiles, complicate progress and detract from the overall experience, making it difficult to achieve a high score.
“What I don't understand, though, is how a person can be credited with 'screenplay' when there's zero dialogue or story in the game.”
“The catch is that when the game reshuffles, it ensures it is virtually impossible to finish without having to dig out almost all the tiles, thereby destroying the score. Keep in mind that to get a reshuffle, you also have to match tiles (even ones you don't need), which further reduces your final score.”

The monetization aspect of the game is characterized by the removal of in-app purchases in its mobile ports, although there are uncertainties regarding whether the game has been fully rebalanced for this change.
“The game feels like a cash grab, with essential features locked behind paywalls.”
“I was disappointed to find that progress is heavily gated unless you spend real money.”
“The monetization strategy is frustrating, as it seems designed to exploit players rather than enhance the experience.”
