The gameplay is generally praised for its fun and engaging mechanics, combining strategy with idle elements, making it addictive and easy to pick up. However, some players express frustration with slow progression, overpowered microtransactions, and performance issues, which can detract from the overall experience. While many appreciate the unique mechanics and customization options, others find the gameplay simplistic or boring, leading to mixed reviews.
- “The gameplay is fresh and intuitive and is by far the best incremental 'tower defense' game ever made.”
- “Great game so far - more strategy and customization than the average idler, a friendly 'respec' system encouraging experimentation, and a great free-to-play model which makes the cash shop currency readily obtainable through normal gameplay.”
- “The game itself is addictive with its strategy and idle mechanics fusing together in beautiful fashion and you almost make more progress offline than online, which is a nice interesting take.”
- “There is a good game here somewhere... but you'd have to search behind the overpowered microtransactions, far too slow gameplay and look under the constant need to 'reset' in order to make progress... left me feeling like I never really got anywhere and like I never progressed.”
- “Very odd method of increasing upgrades (all prices rise when one is purchased), pretty boring idle mechanic without much engagement.”
- “Insane amounts of lag in later levels and stupidly simplistic uninteractive gameplay.”

Overall, players report significant performance issues, particularly in later stages where the game struggles to maintain smooth gameplay with a high number of objects on screen. While there are performance settings available, many users find them inadequate, leading to overheating and frame rate drops, especially beyond level 7. Despite these challenges, some players appreciate the developer's responsiveness to bugs and ongoing improvements.
- “Best idle game I have ever played and I've tried hundreds. Not only does the dev actually care, but since my first review, they have actively attempted to fix bugs I find and improve general performance.”
- “Runs smoothly, easy to play, and weirdly satisfying.”
- “Good time waster, doesn't force ads, but does have a small performance issue with having too many objects created due to the saw split.”
- “There are performance settings, but the only one that really makes a difference is the max ball counter, which completely invalidates the AoE strategy I enjoy the most.”
- “Even on the lowest performance settings, the game seems to start having trouble running at full speed with more than a hundred balls.”
- “Performance issues... beating level 9 pretty fast, switched to level 10 and got 0 fps in 1-2 minutes. Magnet + poison + saw do 10,000+ small balls on screen and the game is stuck.”

grinding

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while some enjoy the initial fun and strategy involved, many feel that it becomes tedious and slow, especially after reaching certain stages. The grind can lead to significant progress, but issues like crashes and slow offline farming detract from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the introduction of microtransactions has raised concerns about the game's monetization strategy, further complicating the grinding experience.
- “There's no more goal when you're farming away at level 10 in the second world.”
- “I was overly enjoying this game, but after grinding for several weeks, I was only about 50% through both bark and light upgrades. Then, out of nowhere, I got to play the game today and... complete and total crash, and now I've lost everything. As much as it helped pass the days, I can't go back and start over.”
- “Definitely a decent idle game, but it scales fast. Everything after stage 4 turns into a very tedious, slow burn where you have to restart multiple times to get almost nowhere.”

humor
4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

The humor in the game is derived from its absurd design choices, such as the unnecessary "keep screen on" option and the frustratingly ineffective progression system. Players find amusement in the developers' responses, particularly the suggestion to "farm rubies" as a solution, which adds to the game's overall comedic value despite its flaws. Overall, it serves as a humorous time killer, albeit unintentionally.
- “That is funny, because they have a 'keep screen on' option in the game. What for?”
- “Dev response is hilarious: 'farming rubies' being the fix apparently. You don't add $30 'micro' transactions unless you hope to take advantage of people with poor impulse control.”
- “Pretty funny time killer.”
