    • “The story isn't that special, but the characters are just great.”
    • “The storyline is honestly pretty barebones and doesn't always make consistent sense, and it's mostly there just to remind you of Sailor Moon or provide an excuse for the characters to walk around and say cute things to each other.”
    • “2/10 sooo much pointless story, can I just get to the gameplay please?”

    • “What really makes this gameplay shine is the constant variety in level objectives, constraints, and boards.”
    • “The gameplay is so satisfying, especially on a controller with rumble.”
    • “It's a 4-hour long match-3 game, which, even though it's kind of short, still managed to get stale and boring by the end, mainly due to one thing: the gameplay doesn't evolve at all.”
    • “What you do in the tutorial is what you'll be doing until the final boss; it doesn't add any more mechanics, doesn't get more difficult, and as a result, ends up feeling like a slog to finish.”
    • “The gameplay is just not getting me.”

  • replayability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's replayability is generally considered low due to its story-driven nature, which diminishes motivation to replay once completed. However, players appreciate the variety in match-3 levels and the quick play mode, which offers different puzzle styles and opportunities to improve high scores, adding some replay value for those interested in gameplay rather than narrative.

    • “A cute, fun game with a lot of replay value as it offers different types of puzzle styles and quick modes.”
    • “The quick play mode adds a ton of replayability, as you work to best your high scores.”
    • “There's a quick play mode for a bit more replayability.”
    • “Low replay value; I'm saying it is low because the game has a story to it, and once you beat that, there is little motivation to replay the story. However, there are more cosmetics and things to unlock from multiple replays, and the match-3 levels themselves are different with different playstyles, companions, etc., which could make for more replay value. However, if you are centered on story alone, this smaller but beautiful game, once beaten, is beaten.”
    • “I adored so many aspects of this game, but I found that once I beat the relatively short main story, there was little motivation for someone like me to continue.”
    • “There's a quick play for a bit more replayability.”
  • grinding
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the unique blend of match-3 mechanics with farming elements, enhancing the gameplay experience. However, some users note that certain achievements can be quite grindy, which may detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “Grinding achievements: yes, very grindy achievements.”
    • “The downside is that there are a few grindy ones.”
  • atmosphere
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is characterized by a relaxing and magical ambiance, enhanced by a soothing lo-fi soundtrack reminiscent of remastered SNES games. Players appreciate the vibrant aesthetics and comfy, chill vibe, which is further enriched by cheeky dialogue and a distinctly queer, femme, and furry theme, making it particularly welcoming for those who identify with these elements.

    • “It is easy to pick up and play; it teleports you to a magical world and bathes you in a soothing atmosphere with engaging and vibrant aesthetics.”
    • “The soundtrack goes hand in hand with the atmosphere that the game encapsulates, with its relaxing and bubbly lo-fi that sounds like it comes from a remastered SNES game.”
    • “I love the comfy, chill atmosphere with the cheeky dialogue.”
    • “That said, the atmosphere of this game is intensely queer, femme, and furry, and the more of those descriptions apply to you, the more at home you're going to feel when playing this game.”
  • character development
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The character development is praised for its engaging interactions and charming designs, particularly highlighting the protagonist's relationships with friends like Garlic, Ro, Gaia, and Carrot.

    • “You can tell there's a ton of love put into the music, character design, and animation.”
    • “Some really cute character designs.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is hindered by a lack of clarity in its goals, making it difficult for players to understand their performance until the level is completed. While the implementation of soft optimization goals adds an engaging layer, the absence of failure mechanics allows players to focus on enjoyment rather than pressure.

    • “I love the way challenges and constraints are implemented as soft optimization goals.”
    • “The other aspect that holds it back is a lack of polish and clarity; the game is constantly changing up the goals that you are supposed to be achieving (not just high score!) but it’s often hard to tell exactly what the new goals are and you never have any idea of whether or not you’ve done a 1-2 or 3 star performance until you have actually finished the level.”
    • “It is important to mention that, even though there are rewards for doing well, you cannot fail, so the player never has to worry about failure, poor performance, or an impending 'game over' screen.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's stability is generally solid, with no major game-breaking issues reported. However, players have noted some minor concerns, including occasional button responsiveness problems and visual glitches that resolve upon loading new pages, indicating a need for further polishing.

    • “There are a couple of rough edges that just need polishing, such as issues with button responsiveness and some simple visual glitches that are fixed when loading the next page. No game-breaking bugs found yet.”
    • “The game frequently crashes during key moments, making it frustrating to progress.”
    • “I've encountered several bugs that disrupt gameplay, including freezing and unexpected errors that require a restart.”
