Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and overly slow-paced, with a minimalistic design that complicates level selection and prolongs gameplay unnecessarily. The lack of features such as achievements, cloud saving, and settings further detracts from the experience, making it feel more suited for mobile play rather than PC. Overall, the grinding is seen as a frustrating element that diminishes enjoyment.
“It is tedious, ultra-slow paced; I suppose it's trying to stretch a 25-minute game to some 50 minutes.”
“The game is super minimalistic, featuring a tedious prev-next level select that takes a lot of time to switch between levels, with just mute and fullscreen toggles.”
“One achievement, no cloud saving (but not needed anyway), almost no settings, no progress reset, and a tedious level select; made for the phone but sold on a PC.”
