Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be slow and tedious, with movement feeling uncharacteristically clunky for a feline-themed experience. Many resort to repeatedly farming items, as the lack of penalties for dying encourages a trial-and-error approach to progress.
- “Movement is slow and tedious, very un-feline-like.”
- “I had to use every item at my disposal, including farming the magic stones, by dying over and over again, since there is no penalty for dying many times.”
