Went wrong somewhere along the line. The original idea might have promise, but in practice it has failed. Threatens to be interesting sometimes, but rarely.

The gameplay is characterized as linear and lacking depth, which detracts from the overall experience despite the appealing artwork and theme. Players found it initially engaging but ultimately felt frustrated and disconnected, leading to a sense of pointlessness.
“Cute artwork and theme, but the gameplay is very linear.”
“This game held my attention for a little while because I wanted so much to like it, but in the end, I just couldn't get into the game. The gameplay itself taxed my patience more than it should have, and eventually, it all seemed so pointless.”
