Fun and enjoyable puzzle gameplay with a simple yet original concept.
Unique theme featuring playing as a boletus edulis mushroom with micology and gems.
Decent graphics and music that complement the puzzle experience.

The game suffers from bugs and the need to reload sometimes.
Very short with only 15 levels and limited content.
Lacks important features such as sound settings and proper UI navigation; also criticized as an asset flip with review manipulation concerns.

The monetization approach is heavily criticized as a cash grab, relying on asset flips and low-effort templates dumped on Steam with little originality. Multiple games using the same method are released quickly, often accompanied by fake reviews, highlighting a pattern of exploitative practices.
- “The Russian 'developer', dnovel/freeanimals_software/my way games, took a template from the godawful cocos2d, slapped a couple of asset-flipped sprites on it, and dumped the results onto Steam as a cash grab scam.”
- “Here's some other asset flips from exactly the same template, all shamelessly dumped on Steam as nasty cash grabs.”
- “To cement the position of this asset flip as nothing but a cash grab, it was dumped onto cheap dailyindiegame shovelware bundles very shortly after launch.”
