Players find the grinding aspect tedious, particularly due to the repetitive nature of the minigames, which are described as overly simplistic. There is also a desire for a feature to save level preferences to reduce the hassle of repeatedly removing unwanted levels from the mix.
“The actual minigames are incredibly simple - more simple than most actual 8-bit games - and would become tedious if you had to play them for more than 30 seconds.”
“Would be really cool to have a feature added to save my selection of levels I don't want in the mix though; it's tedious to remove certain levels every time.”
