The gameplay is criticized for its lack of new mechanics and minimal difficulty progression, leading to a repetitive and unenjoyable experience. Most minigames fail to introduce variety or challenge, with only one inconsistent mechanic (bombs) adding little to the overall gameplay. As a result, players express significant dissatisfaction, rating the gameplay poorly.
- “Each area of the game features 2-8 of these games, so they make up the bulk of the gameplay.”
- “As usual: no new mechanics and no difficulty scaling.”
- “These minigames just aren't very fun to play, especially when the levels don't ever present any new mechanics or increase in difficulty much--at least not consistently.”
- “Only one new mechanic is ever introduced (bombs), but it shows up inconsistently and doesn't add much to the experience.”
- “With such dreadful gameplay, I probably wouldn't give the game a much higher score even if it had amazing music or visuals.”

Players consistently describe the grinding aspect of the game as tedious and frustrating, particularly due to poorly designed mechanics like the color selector and the claw minigame. The repetitive nature of these tasks, combined with similar color options, detracts from the overall enjoyment and makes the grinding feel unnecessarily drawn out.
- “However, even if the color selector was better, this mode would still feel too tedious to be any fun.”
- “On top of being tedious, easy, and undeveloped, sometimes two or three of the colors that the player is given are very similar, which can cause some frustration.”
- “The claw minigame is possibly the most tedious and frustrating of the group.”
