Ultimately, the character design serves as a highlight, but it does not significantly enhance the game's originality or depth compared to other titles in the genre.
- “The character design is great, not too sexy but proportional.”

- “There's genuinely no reason to play this game over other idle games, besides maybe the character design, but even that is mediocre.”
