Players have noted that the grinding in the game can become tedious, as the developers relied on repetitive level designs and cute visuals to mask the lack of new content compared to the first game. This has led to a sense of monotony in gameplay.
“The developers struggled to come up with as many new stages as the first game had, so they often resorted to drawing cute pictures with the roads, hoping that the players would not notice how tedious some of those levels get.”
