The game is designed for casual play, emphasizing aesthetics over complexity, making it ideal for short sessions but potentially lacking depth for those seeking more challenging mechanics. While it charms fans of anime-inspired art and lighthearted puzzles, its simplicity may not satisfy players looking for more substantial gameplay.
