The gameplay has been criticized for being tedious and unengaging, with players spending excessive time on minimal upgrades, leading to a lack of long-term enjoyment. Additionally, poor graphics detract from the overall experience, making it difficult for players to immerse themselves in the game. Overall, there is a strong call for improved mechanics and visual assets to enhance gameplay.
- “I don't see anyone actually enjoying this game long term; the graphics are too bad to look at, and the gameplay involves spending 5 minutes mining for a 1.1% mining upgrade. It needs a way better base system than that, more of a draw, and maybe just use AI to make some better assets.”
- “I'd love to be able to give a review of how good this game was, or even be able to examine the game mechanics, but when I can't even play the game, that gets somewhat difficult.”

The game's stability is notably compromised, particularly with combat encounters that are described as buggy and prone to glitches, such as enemies getting stuck on the screen. While autoclickers can enhance combat experience, their effectiveness is limited by these stability issues, which the developers have acknowledged by disabling them by default. Overall, players should expect a somewhat unstable experience, especially during combat scenarios.
- “Encounters bugged out for me, but the developer seemingly already acknowledged that as they are turned off by default and are also marked as 'buggy'.”
- “If you enable autoclickers, don't be surprised if the enemy ends up being stuck in a corner of your screen, as the encounters are known to be buggy.”
- “Autoclickers won't help you to mine faster, but they can assist in combat if the encounters work, which they often don't due to bugs.”
