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.

“I have never heard such an annoying soundtrack in my life.”
“And that dumb kindergarten song that's in the trailer keeps repeating throughout the game.”
“I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly linear, which detracts from the overall experience despite the game's cute artwork and theme. Players found it initially engaging but ultimately felt frustrated and disconnected, leading to a sense of pointlessness.
“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 just all seemed so pointless.”
“Cute artwork and theme, but the gameplay is very linear.”
