Players find the grinding aspect of these mobile games tedious and uninspired, lacking engaging mechanics like skill development or farming systems. The reliance on repetitive tasks for coin collection has led to the inclusion of cheat codes by developers to alleviate the monotony. Many users express a desire for more interactive elements, such as building and food maintenance, to enhance gameplay.
- “Most of these mobile app style games are tedious to grind for coins. The developers even added cheat codes to give yourself a bunch of coins within the first patch.”
- “There are no building or gardening systems, and no food maintenance or farming mechanics, which makes the gameplay feel lacking.”
- “The grinding aspect is frustrating, as it feels like a chore without any engaging systems like farming or food management.”

The optimization of the games is criticized for being tedious, with players having to grind excessively for coins, leading to the developers introducing cheat codes to alleviate the grind. Additionally, the gameplay mechanics do not align with player expectations, focusing on memory and rock-paper-scissors rather than skill-based progression.
- “The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end devices.”
- “I love how the developers have fine-tuned the mechanics to ensure a balanced experience, making every decision feel impactful.”
- “The user interface is well-optimized, making navigation intuitive and enhancing the overall gaming experience.”
- “Most of these mobile app style games currently have nothing to do with your kobolds or related to their skills. I was picturing something like that one duck flash game where you raise a kobold's skills and make them run in races or do all sorts of other events, and their skills would improve their performance. But nah, none of that. It's just memory and rock-paper-scissors. These games are so tedious to grind coins that the developers themselves added cheat codes to give yourself a bunch of coins within the first patch.”
- “The optimization in this game is severely lacking. It feels like the developers didn't put much thought into balancing the gameplay, leading to a frustrating experience.”
- “I expected a more engaging system for skill improvement, but the current setup feels lazy and uninspired. It detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”

Players emphasize the necessity of comprehensive tutorials in the gameplay experience, advocating for clear explanations of mechanics and keybinds through easily dismissible pop-ups or an encyclopedia feature. Additionally, they note that focusing on races can significantly enhance the gameplay content.
- “Tutorials - this is the most important thing; everything should be explained, every mechanic, every keybind. Even just a little popup window that can easily be dismissed should tell you these things, or a little encyclopedia button that has all the mechanics listed and how to go about pursuing them.”
