The gameplay is generally described as tedious and reliant on RNG, with players often feeling frustrated by the lack of skill involved and aggressive monetization tactics. While the game features a standard "match 3" mechanic and a storyline, issues such as slow navigation, repetitive animations, and frequent crashes detract from the overall experience. Despite some positive notes on the developers' responsiveness to gameplay issues, many users find the gameplay ultimately becomes a slog due to these factors.
- “No issues with gameplay.”
- “They seem to actually be listening and reviewing and fixing issues to ensure a smooth gameplay.”
- “Fairly standard 'match 3' game with a storyline mechanic.”
- “Once you run out of boosters and the extras you can buy, which are exorbitantly priced, you end up trying 25 to 35 times per game hoping desperately that RNG is going to give you what you need to complete it. It becomes a very tedious experience because there simply is no skill involved, meaning you are just going through the motions. Essentially, it's a story game with the illusion of skill-based gameplay.”
- “Game and story are fine, but the menu sucks, the constant zooming is horrid, the animations around gameplay (not story) are so annoying and repetitive, and it crashes occasionally.”
- “Gameplay is extremely slow; it takes ages to go back to the homepage, and it goes back after every single level!”
