The grinding aspect of the game is a mixed bag; while many players appreciate its relaxing nature and ability to run in the background during other tasks, they also note that it can become excessively tedious, especially when trying to unlock higher-tier animals or achievements. Some find the repetitive tasks and slow coin farming frustrating, particularly in the late game, but others enjoy the simplicity and charm of the gameplay. Overall, it's a cute and addictive farming sim that may appeal to those who enjoy idle games, though it lacks the depth of more complex farming simulations.
- “Towards end game, things are just getting grindy beyond a joke.”
- “Purchasing the last few slots is so expensive, and neither the regular animals nor the DLC animals generate enough income to reach 7,200,000,000 gold unless you're extremely patient or spend a ton of time grinding.”
- “I wish there was some kind of facility where you could lower them since, again, most of the gameplay past a certain point is just farming billions, and getting animals that make at least 1 million+ per minute is generally the best way to do that, but it's so tedious when you're constantly forced to breed rainbow frogs over and over taking hours for it to grow back up again just to add on a bit of progress.”
