- “There's no real gameplay, just a decorated scheme to extract money from people.”
- “Gameplay started to get really slow towards the end of the first level, and I didn't see any instructions during the event on how to use the pickaxes that you get.”
- “This game employs that nasty mechanic where at a certain point you are no longer able to automate things unless you pay for premium stuff to upgrade 'managers'; therefore, it's not at all fun.”

- “Forced ads to complete missions, a lot of pop-ups. When you're offline, you get 1 notification every minute that your idle timer is up.”
- “Also, I've got a quest for a ridiculous 908 billion and I'm only on zone Z.”
