    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are consistently praised for their cute and cozy art style, enhancing the overall fun and casual experience. Players appreciate the delightful visuals that complement the matching game mechanics, making it an engaging choice for puzzle enthusiasts.

  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and unengaging, often leading to frustration during public runs as resource gathering can slow down team progress. The gameplay heavily relies on matching mechanics, which may not appeal to everyone, especially those who dislike such games, as it involves significant time spent farming materials for upgrades and crafting.

    • “It's tediously unfun, clunky, and incredibly ugly.”
    • “Getting resources while doing a public run is annoying for everyone; other members will need to wait or do battle without the member that is farming resources, and the one farming resources will probably feel sorry for slowing down the adventure.”
    • “If you don't like matching games, then I would steer clear because literally everything you do in this game is going to be some kind of match game, and there's a lot of grinding for materials and brewing up things.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is enjoyable and engaging, featuring cute graphics and effective matching mechanics, with a strong emphasis on social and co-op play. Players appreciate the blend of RPG elements with puzzle-solving, while the design ensures a non-disruptive experience for others. Overall, it offers a fun and accessible puzzler experience.

    • “I am loving the combination of RPG-like gameplay and puzzles.”
    • “Honestly, come to enjoy the gameplay and social aspect of it, because there's really not much else to it.”
    • “Also, it doesn't look like there is a way for you to actively harm anyone else's gameplay experience.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally described as fun and catchy, complementing the charming art and animations. However, some users find it mildly annoying at times. Overall, it adds a lighthearted atmosphere to the gameplay experience.

    • “The art and animations are charming and the music is catchy.”
    • “I like the cute style of the characters, the music is fun, developing your land is cool, and you get bonuses for logging in every day.”
    • “The music is mildly annoying.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story features a social element where players can form guilds to unlock additional quests and items. However, some quests, like the fairy quest, are criticized for their reliance on RNG, leading to frustratingly long completion times.

    • “The narrative is well-crafted, with each quest contributing to a larger, cohesive storyline that keeps players engaged.”
    • “The character development throughout the game is exceptional, making players genuinely care about the outcomes of their choices.”
    • “The fairy quest really didn't need to have a step that could take upwards of three hours just because of RNG reliance.”
    • “The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent narrative arc, making it hard to stay engaged.”
    • “Character development is shallow, and many plot points feel rushed or underexplored.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its monetization model, as it is completely free with no ads or microtransactions, enhancing the overall experience. However, the only drawback noted is the requirement for multiplayer, which can lead to issues with random players taking loot.

    • “I love this game! It's the best free puzzle game I've ever played because it has no ads or pop-ups for microtransactions. The art is cute, the puzzles are fun and relaxing. The only downside is you can't play solo; it's automatically an open public party, which means random players can join, take your loot, and run.”
  • stability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report that the stability of account setup for cross-platform progress between Android and Steam is problematic, with many experiencing bugs that necessitate seeking help through Discord for resolution.

    • “Getting my account set up so I could keep cross-platform progress between Android and Steam was very buggy, and I had to reach out on their Discord to figure it out.”
  • character development
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Reviews indicate that the character development in the game is limited, with basic character design that lacks depth and complexity. Players feel that the characters do not evolve significantly throughout the story, resulting in a less engaging experience. Overall, the simplistic approach to character development has left many users wanting more.
