The graphics of the game are widely praised for their cuteness and appealing art style, with many users highlighting the adorable characters and vibrant color palettes. While the visuals are generally considered excellent, some players have reported issues with lag and server errors that detract from the overall experience. Overall, the game's graphics contribute significantly to its addictiveness and enjoyment.
“I absolutely adore the sweet art style, warm color palette, and fun and flawless game design.”
“The graphics are adorable and the stories keep you interested.”
“The graphics are really great and cute and I'm having fun with this game again with all the new updates.”
“Low quality of graphics and game not showing properly (in proper shape) in full screen.”
“I downloaded it being fascinated by the graphics but the moment I launched this game it asked me to download 94MB worth of additional content. The most irritating part is that it downloaded 30-40MB worth of data then it stopped. I thought maybe my network is slow so I switched to WiFi but the same thing happened. I tried to download the additional content 8-9 times but all my efforts were for naught.”
“Too complicated gameplay and blurry graphics.”

“The game phase is just a repeating cycle with low story progress.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating that ads are optional and strategically placed, allowing for gameplay without interruption. However, many users report frequent issues with ad loading, crashes when attempting to watch ads, and a general feeling that in-app purchases are overpriced, making it difficult for younger players to engage fully without spending money. Overall, while the game offers rewards for watching ads, technical problems and high costs for in-game items detract from the experience.
“I love this game; there are, however, a lot of microtransactions.”
“Apart from internet connection issues sometimes, overall gameplay is really great... animation is fantastic and really cute... this is my favorite game ever... and you can fully enjoy this game even without in-game purchases. This game gives a lot of rewards daily and during special events.”

“Every time I look at the in-game purchases, all I can think is that it's grossly overpriced.”
“I really love this game, though recently I'm having problems with the ads.”
“Good and fun game but too much ads and very pay-to-win.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of glitches, freezes, and crashes that disrupt gameplay. Many players experience issues such as the game freezing during ad viewing or while performing in-game actions, leading to lost progress and frustration. Despite the enjoyable gameplay and graphics, the persistent bugs and server problems detract from the overall experience, prompting some players to stop playing altogether.
“The main drawback for me is when I choose to watch an ad and the game freezes before the ad starts when I have the option to get 500% of my earnings during startup.”
“Game is fun and addicting and been playing for a while but I haven't played the past 7 months since it was so buggy with very slow loading, crashing, most of the time it would be stuck on loading and I would have to force close the app and open it again just to redo what I was doing hence forcing me to restart missions at times... well I'm back after 7 months and the same issues... which is very sad for a popular game.”
“The bugs and glitches are ridiculous and my game crashes at least 10 times a day.”
