replayability

The game has limited replayability due to the absence of a star system or clear metrics for level completion, which may disappoint players seeking competitive benchmarks. However, it offers a changing storyboard across playthroughs, providing some variety, and with over 200 levels, it serves as a decent time killer for those who enjoy exploring different strategies on their own. Overall, while it may not satisfy all replayability desires, it still has its strengths for casual play.
- “Where this game really shines, though, is in its replay value.”
- “Within the LP, I addressed some replayability concerns, as this game definitely doesn't offer a star system. There is no way to really indicate how well you completed a level compared to everyone else, or what the min-max values would be.”
- “I do think that for the price point it is offered at, it is perfectly fine for the amount of levels (>200) it offers and is a good time killer. However, for those who want replayability in this game, it may not be quite at that level for you unless you enjoy min-maxing on your own without knowing if there is a better solution available.”
- “With that said, there are other options for replayability that I addressed in my LP, such as a storyboard that changes between playthroughs, similar to Nier or other games of the sort.”

- “The game's got trading cards and achievements, so that's a plus, but the game is so dreadfully boring. It's not challenging enough to test my brain, but it's not easy enough that I can just speed through it in a few minutes, so it just becomes tedious and boring.”
