    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be somewhat tedious, particularly due to the manual grinding system at the end of each level and the need for grinding at various points throughout. Despite this, many feel that the overall experience is worth the low price of entry.

    • “The manual grinding system at the end of each level is kind of... grindy.”
    • “The game also requires quite a bit of grinding at various points.”
    • “It's definitely worth the $1, although it is a bit tedious at times.”

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are praised for their great art style and appealing user interface, complemented by enjoyable sound effects. However, some users have reported occasional frame rate caps at 30fps, potentially due to hardware limitations.

    • “Great art style, lovely UI and sound effects.”
    • “I'm not sure why there's an occasional frame rate cap at 30fps; this might have been my laptop deciding the app should run on integrated graphics, but I'm not sure.”
  • humor
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is highlighted by its clever achievements, particularly one that rewards players for humorously failing, such as exploding their rocket in Kerbal Space Program. This playful approach to failure adds a lighthearted and entertaining element to the gameplay experience.

    • “Absolutely hilarious that there's a Kerbal Space Program achievement, and that it's an achievement you get when you explode your rocket.”
  • story
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is criticized for lacking meaningful engagement, as players feel that missions offer little reward or progression, leading to a sense of futility in the gameplay experience.

    • “The game quickly becomes 'do missions that provide no tangible benefit because the return on investment is negligible compared to the price of the next set of upgrades.'”
