Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game. While some find it enjoyable and not overly tedious, others feel it can become boring and repetitive, especially when collecting items or upgrading boats. The presence of ads and the need for in-game purchases to expedite progress also contribute to the perception of grinding as a drawback for some users.

“Once you have leveled up all your boats, it becomes tediously slow trying to gather the remaining few relics to get one new outfit per island totaling only 8, plus the 1-2 new outfits only available certain months.”
