  • monetization
    225 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game primarily relies on ads, which many users find intrusive and frequent, often disrupting gameplay with long, unskippable ads after every few attempts. While there is an option to pay for an ad-free experience, the general consensus is that the ad frequency detracts significantly from the overall enjoyment of the game. Some players suggest turning off internet access to avoid ads, but this workaround does not address the underlying issue of excessive advertising.

    • “Amazing mobile game with minimal in-game purchases (the only microtransaction is for no ads).”
    • “Also, in-app purchases are 100% not necessary and don't contribute to your overall enjoyment.”
    • “Enjoyable, challenging, fun, and no ads; this is a worth-it game.”
    • “The ads completely kill this game.”
    • “Great game ruined by extremely invasive ads, and can't be skipped without watching the whole 20 or 30 second ad.”
    • “Fun game but the ads drive me off the wall insane.”
  • gameplay
    115 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, it stands out as a well-crafted puzzle experience, though the frequency of ads can detract from the enjoyment.

    • “The gameplay is uniquely fun.”

    • “The mechanics are intuitive, the difficulty is organic, and the art style and presentation are adorable!”
    • “But eventually the mechanics kind of seem to become a little boring.”
    • “Just frustrating how there aren't all too many stages and thus less gameplay; the whole game can be finished in around an hour.”

  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is noted for its interesting theme of expendability in mission completion, but many users feel it lacks depth and a more developed narrative.

    • “This game is super fun and addicting; I love the story and awesome characters! I totally recommend.”

    • “Wish it had a little more story to feel more complete.”
    • “Maybe add to the story a bit as well.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The stability of the game is mixed, with some users reporting significant glitches that can affect gameplay, such as freezing and unexpected returns to the main screen. However, others praise the game for being smooth and polished, indicating that experiences may vary widely among players.

    • “It has some glitches that make me save two characters; for example, it tells you to kill or sacrifice that character, but I end up pushing the button continuously, causing a glitch to save that character.”
    • “When I start the game, it glitches, and when the intro is playing, it suddenly just goes back to the main screen.”
    • “The game freezes.”

    • “It can be frustrating and tedious sometimes with the amount of time I have to replay a level.”
