The game suffers from significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent freezes when transitioning between levels and during ad playback. These problems often result in a complete halt of gameplay, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction among players.
“Firstly, when going to another level or job, the game gets stuck and just shows a purple screen. Secondly, when watching ads for items to help you, the game freezes completely.”
“The biggest problem of them all is the ads. They pop up from the bottom of the screen to the top, then the game freezes and just stops working. This game is frustrating; I'm uninstalling it.”

The music aspect of the game is seen as a promising concept, but players feel that the transition from being a musician to other roles, like a chef, detracts from the overall experience and coherence.
