    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly when repeated attempts at a level require them to redo earlier sections despite having mastered them. This repetitive cycle can lead to frustration, especially when progress feels hindered by the need to restart after failing at later challenges.

    • “When you've played a level 30 times and have the first set of traps down, dying on the second set of traps and having to redo the first set (even though you can beat it 90% of the time once you have enough practice on that level) ultimately gets really tedious.”
    • “The constant need to grind for resources feels more like a chore than an enjoyable part of the game.”
    • “After hours of grinding, I still feel like I'm not making any real progress, which is incredibly frustrating.”
