Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the repetitive nature of restocking and ordering stock without a clear goal. The lack of meaningful progression makes the grinding feel aimless, and technical issues like crashes further detract from the experience.
- “Yes, many of the other criticisms are valid (especially how tedious restocking and ordering stock is - there are about 4 kinds of the same food and constantly having to check which flavor of that particular kind you're currently selling and then finding it in the shop again is extremely annoying) but for me the biggest problem is that there is no goal.”
- “Ordering stock is a really tedious and annoying thing.”
- “Maybe even make each building upgrade more expensive from the last just to have a tiny grinding goal.”
