The game offers a large amount of content with 100 levels and various objectives, making it a decent option for casual play.
It can be relaxing and addictive, providing a simple and enjoyable match-3 experience for those looking to unwind.
Despite its low budget, the game is well-executed for what it is, with straightforward mechanics and a mouse-friendly interface.

The game suffers from a lack of polish, with amateurish graphics, slow animations, and issues like hints blocking moves.
Many levels can feel random and luck-based, leading to frustration rather than challenge, especially with timed objectives.
The overall presentation is minimalistic and bare bones, making it feel more like a mobile port than a full-fledged game.
