Reviews indicate that grinding in this game can be quite time-consuming, often requiring a significant investment of time akin to having a "second life." However, for players who enjoy speedrunning or level replaying to improve their skills, the grinding aspect is seen as rewarding and worth the price.
“You'll need a second life for grinding.”
“I don't actually know how much I would recommend this as a casual game, but if you like speedrunning, IL grinding, or any kind of game where the point is to replay levels until you're very good at them (think Action Henk, N++, Dustforce, etc.), then I think this is well worth the price.”
