  • gameplay2 mentions

    The gameplay features simple mechanics combined with challenging layouts, requiring a mix of skill and strategy to recover gold cards rather than just clearing the board. Players can choose between two modes: one for replaying individual levels and another for completing sets of ten, with pro mode unlocking after some initial play. While not addictive, the game is habit-forming and encourages repeated attempts.

    • “Simple mechanics but challenging layouts - a good blend of skill and luck - it's not a 'clear the board' solitaire - it's a recover the gold cards buried in the layout - requires some strategy - it's one of those 'one more try' games - not addictive but habit-forming.”
    • “There are two gameplay modes, one lets you replay individual levels (my preference), the other only entire sets of 10 levels, and you can only start pro mode after playing a bit on newbie.”
    • “The gameplay feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged for long periods.”
    • “The controls are unresponsive at times, leading to frustrating moments during gameplay.”
    • “The difficulty spikes are inconsistent, which can make the experience feel unfair and discouraging.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and challenging, often leading to frustration when progress stalls. While some may enjoy the pursuit of extras or perfect scores, many recommend avoiding the game unless it's free, as the enjoyment diminishes over time.

    • “But if you feel like grinding to earn extras or want a perfect score for each level, it will be a challenge.”
