The gameplay is described as cozy and relaxing, offering many hours of achievement completion, but it suffers from a lack of depth and variety, with simplistic mechanics and minimal content. While the colorful visuals and addictive nature are appreciated, players express a desire for more interesting upgrades and unique features to enhance the experience. Overall, it feels enjoyable yet somewhat barebones, akin to a demo rather than a fully fleshed-out game.

“Everything is very colorful, and the mechanics are super simple but highly addictive.”

“Do not get it if you are looking for idle gameplay.”

“Just very chill and not too grindy.”
“I never usually advocate for grinding just for the sake of grinding, but unlocking the content in this game was so trivially easy that it didn't give me any sense of accomplishment.”
