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, and involves significant time spent farming materials for upgrades and crafting. Overall, the grinding experience is described as clunky and detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “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.”

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 to play in public parties, 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. Literally, 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.”
