Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive, as the rapid increase in upgrade costs forces them to repeatedly play a limited number of maps to collect enough resources for improvements. This repetitive gameplay can lead to frustration and a sense of stagnation.
“The cost of upgrades increases rapidly, making it very grindy to improve. With only a handful of maps available, you end up playing the same one or two repeatedly just to gather enough gems for a slight upgrade.”
“Grinding for resources feels tedious and repetitive, as the game lacks variety in its content.”
“The constant need to grind for materials to progress makes the gameplay feel more like a chore than an enjoyable experience.”
