Gameplay is generally enjoyable, with fun core mechanics, but players express frustration over resource management, particularly the depletion of materials like sand. Additionally, the autosave feature is criticized for being infrequent, leading to potential loss of progress. Overall, the game represents a significant advancement for Kairosoft, despite these issues.

- “Does not save gameplay as it should.”
