While some find enjoyment in the gameplay itself, there is a consensus that adding a narrative element could significantly improve the overall experience.

  • optimization10 mentions

    The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with users reporting sluggish performance, excessive ad interruptions, and overheating issues on devices that can handle more demanding games.

    • “It's a good concept but needs a lot of performance and visual work.”

  • grinding4 mentions

    Reviews indicate that the game is heavily grindy and repetitive, often described as boring and more focused on ad revenue than gameplay. Players feel that it leans towards a pay-to-win model, where grinding is less effective than spending in-game money, leading to a tedious experience. Suggestions for improvement include introducing a player-versus-player (PvP) mode to enhance engagement.

    • “Unless you really love slaps, just skip this one. It's more of an ad machine than a game. The game is very simple and not very good at anything; it's very grindy and repetitive. Even if you find a way to obtain many coins, that doesn't change the nature of the game. The exact one word for the nature of this game is 'boring.'”
    • “I like the concept of the game, but I think it's just pay-to-win. The only way to win is to pay in-game money; there's no actual grinding.”
    • “Then it's repetitive with tedious ad watching.”
