Players express frustration with the game's quest system, citing issues such as being unable to complete missions due to prior actions, confusion over quest objectives, and repetitive tasks that hinder progress. Many feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of quests and the lack of clarity in finding necessary items or locations, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the story experience. Despite these challenges, players still appreciate the game's charm and aesthetics.
“Love this game but I logged in after like 6 years and I had to do all the newbie quests again despite having all of the upgrades, buildings, and animals that the game wants me to do in quests, which makes some of the quests undoable for me, therefore hindering my current progress in the game.”
“There's a quest to open the lucky bag, and I have no idea what it is.”
“I keep seeing quests about it but there's no turtle island on the map.”

The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its excessive and invasive ads, which some users liken to adware, and for the high prices of in-app purchases that often fail to deliver the promised content. While some players appreciate the option to progress with smaller payments, the overall sentiment reflects frustration over the reliance on costly bundles and the lack of value for loyal players, raising concerns about the game's longevity.
“Really cute, would rate 5 if the in-app purchases were more reasonably priced.”
“Not only can you make good progress on your own, but for small amounts of money you can also move quickly ahead with in-app purchases.”
“Too many ads, seems to be more to download every time I play.”
“Relying on such pricey bundles makes me worried that this game will meet the same fate as Derby Days and a few others that they put minimal advertising into: termination... with zero benefits to the players who support their other games.”
“I have attempted to make two $50 in-app purchases, only to not receive what I bought.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while farming extraordinary animals is enjoyable, the repetitive nature of buying storage and the convoluted mechanics involving chance and currencies can lead to tedium and minimal rewards.
“It got tedious to keep buying storage every time I bred an animal.”
“The endless grinding, complex 'chance' games, and currencies are jumbled into an elaborate game with few, if any, pay-offs.”
