  • monetization266 mentions

Some users report that while ads are generally optional, they can become intrusive and glitchy, leading to frustration. Overall, the game is seen as a cash grab by some, but others enjoy the gameplay without feeling pressured to spend money.

    • “Microtransactions that aren't just pay walls (I've made it really far without paying a dime.. which honestly makes me want to just support development) and a super addictive and fluid combat system and gameplay.”
    • “Pretty great game so far, no ads, great gameplay, fun leveling system, this is the best mobile game I've seen on the store in a while.”
    • “No ads, fun gameplay *some* avoidable microtransactions, so it's generally a pretty fun game.”
    • “The upgrading system is what really holds this game back, having to rely on two crate types which aren't even guaranteed to give you an adequate amount of chipsets considering how expensive they are, even when watching ads to boost earnings by triple.”
    • “In-app purchases for a mobile game, as simplistic in nature as this one, up to $74.99 is unacceptable.”
    • “The grind is ridiculous and ads become annoying over time.”
  • gameplay148 mentions

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players enjoying its fun mechanics, smooth controls, and engaging rogue-like elements. However, several users criticized the slow progression, repetitive gameplay, and aggressive pay-to-win mechanics that hinder the overall experience. While some appreciate the aesthetic and design, others find the energy systems and difficulty spikes frustrating, leading to a lack of enjoyment in the long run.

    • “The game is actually fun to play and has nice aesthetics and gameplay mechanics.”
    • “Project Clean Earth is an indie exemplar with beautiful pixel art and well-streamlined gameplay.”
    • “Fun gameplay, no forced ads, runs smoothly, easy navigation, creative and easy to understand.”
    • “Unfortunately, really slow gameplay increasingly hindered by slow stat/equipment growth.”
    • “The game has repetitive gameplay (only a small selection of enemies) and the progression is based on buying upgrades, which requires you to watch 30-second ads every game unless you want to grind forever.”
    • “After a few hours of gameplay, things get ridiculously difficult to a point where you don't make progress anymore unless you pay lots of money or do endless grinding.”
  • grinding89 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it excessively tedious and time-consuming, especially after reaching higher levels where progression becomes nearly impossible without significant grinding or spending money. While some enjoy the challenge and the satisfaction of overcoming difficult bosses through grinding, others criticize the lack of rewarding progression and the overwhelming reliance on repetitive gameplay and microtransactions. Overall, the game is seen as fun initially, but it quickly devolves into a grind-heavy experience that can deter players.

    • “The grinding can be enjoyable at first, but by level 9, the difficulty spike is so steep that it feels overwhelming. It would be great to see a more balanced approach to progression.”
    • “Initially, the gameplay is engaging, but the grind becomes tedious as you reach higher levels. Finding a more reasonable way to earn rewards would enhance the experience.”
    • “While the game starts off fun, the grinding required to progress becomes excessive, especially when facing bosses. A more balanced difficulty curve would improve the overall enjoyment.”
    • “Played for a couple of weeks and... pay to win, horribly boring with only one correct loadout that works, tedious and long hours of grinding for a mobile game. There's only one build that works and it's either that or you die. It's impossible to pass some runs with the artifacts seeming to be a select few per stage.”
    • “After a few hours of gameplay, things get ridiculously difficult to the point where you don't make progress anymore unless you pay lots of money or do endless grinding.”
    • “Great game but you hit a wall super early on where you either pay or spend weeks grinding.”
  • graphics67 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their charming retro pixel art style, vibrant visuals, and engaging design, contributing to an enjoyable aesthetic experience. Many players appreciate the attention to detail in character and boss designs, as well as the accompanying music and sound effects. However, some critiques mention issues with optimization and gameplay mechanics, suggesting that while the graphics are strong, the overall experience could be improved.

    • “The graphics and design are on point and it's action-packed for real!”
    • “It is awesome, the best graphics and details of any swarm survival game I've played.”
    • “Loving the art style of this game, it reminds me of the good old gaming days.”

Players appreciate the balance of fun and challenge, with the music contributing to an immersive and entertaining atmosphere.

  • story45 mentions

    The game's story is generally well-received, with players appreciating its unique backstory and engaging narrative elements that enhance the gameplay experience. However, many users express a desire for more lore, character development, and additional storylines, as well as improvements in pacing and clarity of the narrative. Overall, while the story adds charm and depth, players feel that it could be further enriched with more content and better integration into the gameplay.

    • “The graphical design and story/reason is very unique.”
    • “One of the best in this genre, a must have for anyone who wants some character, originality, and story.”
    • “It's got good story, fun gameplay, and is unique.”
    • “Dear devs: I hope you provide more lore about the game (specifically the enemies, their weaknesses, strengths, and origins).”
    • “The way for grinding items is too slow... you can't pass the next level unless you spend weeks grinding for diamonds to unlock chests or anything, in the same repeated levels and daily quests again and again. Just add events so we can get some more ways to get equipment, items, or anything a bit easier. Not recommended for free-to-play.”
    • “The game being pay-to-win is already a pain, but putting a boss with undodgeable attacks on mission 8 was the worst game design I have ever seen in my life.”
  • optimization13 mentions

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players appreciate its smooth performance and easy navigation, others criticize it for being poorly optimized, grindy, and unfair, with issues like excessive ads and a pay-to-win model.

    • “Runs smoothly and I like how the levels use a variety of enemies to make players level up skills they chose before the level.”

    • “The game was luckily optimized like a console or PC game.”
    • “Game is not fair and unoptimized; the map is too small for this kind of game, and mobs are too fast and too numerous. This game feels like pay-to-win, and it needs more optimization. It's becoming harder and harder to enjoy. The graphics are very good, and I like pixel games, but this is just an unfair and unoptimized experience.”
    • “It's fun but poorly optimized.”
    • “This game very severely needs optimization tweaks.”
  • humor9 mentions

    The game is praised for its charming and addictive humor, with many users highlighting its funny and silly elements that keep them entertained. The well-timed intro and the "bobiberse" humor vibes contribute to its appeal, making it a delightful experience even during challenging gameplay moments. Overall, players find the humor to be a standout feature that enhances their enjoyment.

    • “It's a buggy game and I requested a refund from Google.”
    • “It is a great game until you finally beat a boss and click extra rewards, and it freezes, causing you to lose and have to fight him again. That made me very mad; you all need to fix that, please.”
