    The gameplay features a unique mechanic where players lose a permanent point in one of three stats—life, magic, or energy—each time they die, which some users find frustrating and detrimental to their enjoyment. However, the game is noted for its simplicity, allowing players to grasp the mechanics quickly without extensive time investment.
