Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be manageable, with only one achievement—completing 200 boards with 3 stars—considered somewhat grindy due to the limited number of boards available. However, the overall experience is described as enjoyable and accessible for casual gamers, allowing for relaxed gameplay while still making progress.
“There's only one achievement that I think is a little grindy, which is the 'complete 200 boards with 3 stars', but there are only 120 boards, so you would have to play 100 boards twice or keep replaying the same one.”
“The grinding in this game feels excessive and tedious, making it hard to stay engaged with the overall experience.”
“I found myself stuck in a loop of repetitive tasks just to level up, which really took away from the enjoyment of the game.”
