stability

The stability of the game has been criticized for its numerous bugs, particularly in the artwork and user interface, which can lead to frustrating interactions. Players have reported issues with the game freezing during gameplay and problems with progress not being saved when minimized. While some users acknowledge the challenges of low-budget development, the overall consensus is that the game suffers from significant stability issues that detract from the experience.
- “The UI is buggy as well and doesn't work properly if you click in the wrong places, even though it is presented in such a way that you should be able to click an entire box. Any sort of QA is too much work when they could just release a buggy game and beg people for free money.”
- “Would be 5 stars, but most of the time when you don't manually turn the game off but just minimize, AFK progress is completely ignored because the app freezes instead of going off, meaning 2 hours of not being in the app results in 0 progress.”
- “Very good game, but my only criticism is that the slowdown mechanic is a little buggy. Often, it makes the game get stuck in a state with nothing happening, and my game makes no progress. Sometimes it flashes between that and the regular game, and when it does, I have to avoid using the slowdown.”
