The graphics in the game have received criticism for their lackluster aesthetic, with some players feeling that the representation of Chinese culture falls short. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the pixel graphics do not provide the same sense of satisfaction as traditional jigsaw puzzles, leading to a generally unimpressed reception.
“I get that this game intentionally aims to showcase Chinese culture, but if your sense of aesthetics is that bad, please just don't do it!”
“The puzzle is fun and relaxing, but unlike jigsaw puzzle games where the anticipation of how the whole picture will look is rewarding as the full picture materializes, the pixel graphics reveal in this game is just meh.”

Many players express that grinding can feel like a waste of time, especially as they prioritize enjoyment and a sense of accomplishment over simply completing a game.
“But, as I get older, I have increasingly come to realize that time is too precious to waste grinding out the completion of a game if the sense of enjoyment or even the sense of accomplishment aren't there.”
“Grinding feels like a chore rather than a fun part of the game, making me question why I even started playing in the first place.”
“The repetitive nature of grinding can turn an exciting game into a tedious task, draining the joy out of the experience.”
