Players feel that the early rounds for farming money are too brief, leading to frequent but unproductive trips to the shop due to insufficient funds for upgrades. This creates a frustrating grinding experience as players struggle to accumulate resources effectively.
“The early rounds, when you should be farming for upgrades, don't last long enough; short rounds mean more trips to the shop, but most of those are entirely wasted because you're poor.”
“Grinding feels tedious and repetitive, making it hard to stay engaged with the game.”
