  • The game is enjoyable and addictive for the price, providing a simplistic yet engaging experience.
  • It features good graphics, cheerful music, and fun references that appeal to its target audience.
  • Some players found it to be a decent time-waster, especially for those who enjoy similar games like 'Sort the Court'.
  • The game often fails to start, leading to frustration and disappointment among players.
  • Many mechanics are confusing, with unclear consequences for choices, making gameplay feel pointless and repetitive.
  • It suffers from bugs and lacks sufficient content, resulting in a very short playtime and underwhelming mini-games.
  • gameplay3 mentions

    Players suggest enhancing gameplay by incorporating a mechanic that visually indicates the impact of choices on resources, which would aid in resource management as choices become repetitive. While some find the mechanics confusing, others appreciate the humor and low-cost entertainment value.

    • “My suggestion would be to add a mechanic, which I believe 'Reigns' had, that displays which resources are going to be affected by your choice and how (display whether they go up or down), but only if you made that choice before.”
    • “That'll help streamline the gameplay a little after the choices start repeating, so players who invested more time into the game will have an easier time managing the resources without having to manually remember (or write down) the results of their previous choices.”
    • “I don't get the mechanics, but I did get a giggle out of it at a cost of 50 cents.”
  • monetization1 mentions

    The monetization strategy is perceived as a cash grab, reminiscent of the developer's previous game, which also faced criticism for its high costs despite initial success with loot boxes.

    • “Long story short, it just seems like a cash grab to me, as was their last game after the initial lootbox simulator success that was alright but probably not worth the cost.”
    • “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “I feel like the game is designed to push players towards microtransactions rather than rewarding them for their time and effort.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious due to the rapid repetition of cards, which may lead to a need for memorization of their effects.

    • “The cards start repeating rather quickly, so you could potentially try to remember them and their effects, but that's quite tedious.”
    • “Grinding feels like a never-ending chore, with little reward for the time invested.”
    • “The repetitive nature of grinding makes it hard to stay engaged; it often feels like I'm just going through the motions.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is often criticized as being flat and lacking depth, contributing to a sense of pointlessness and dissatisfaction among players. Many feel that the limited gameplay options exacerbate these issues, leading to a brief and unfulfilling experience.
