The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the prevalence of forced ads and the necessity of in-app purchases to progress. While some appreciate optional ads for minor rewards, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game feels like a cash grab, detracting from the overall experience and enjoyment. Players desire a more balanced approach, favoring a one-time purchase option to eliminate ads entirely rather than relying on microtransactions and ad views for progression.
- “If you don't mind the old and tired mobile game shops and microtransactions, then you'll probably find some enjoyment here.”
- “I have completed the game so far with no in-app purchases.”
- “No ads unless you want some extra things.”
- “It is really sad that there is a good game hiding behind bad 'game designer monetization'.”
- “The upgrade costs are way too expensive, so either you have to watch a million hours of ads or sit around and wait for ten years for your villagers to get tech points, or pay to win. It has the potential to be a good game if they weren't so concerned about driving people to pay money to just get through the puzzles to progress.”
- “Unfortunately, the game has become a cash grab.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration, with players appreciating the fun and challenging aspects, particularly the puzzle mechanics and new interactive features.

Many users express a desire for improvements, including better guidance, reduced costs, and more engaging content to enhance the gameplay experience.

- “There's a bit of a learning curve with some of the aspects of the game, but once you understand the mechanics, it's addictive and fun.”
- “Game keeps glitching; for example, crafting recipes don't progress when I leave the app. Instead, they start where they left off when I closed the game, even when gameplay isn't paused.”
- “Puzzles should have clues when you tap them, crafted items should not disappear, and research costs should not be so high so early in gameplay.”
- “Additionally, it looks quite bad and the gameplay overall is boring and unsatisfying.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious and frustrating, particularly due to the difficulty in managing resources like food while trying to advance technology levels. The long wait times for tech points and the imbalance in farming and spirituality progression contribute to a sense of stagnation, leading some users to abandon the game altogether. Overall, the grinding experience is seen as a major detractor from enjoyment, with calls for adjustments to make it more engaging and less punishing.
- “Grinding is one thing, but balancing feeding your villagers and keeping them healthy, whilst also trying to advance tech levels, is like two steps forward, two steps back.”
- “The waiting for tech points is tedious; something I noticed in other games that works well is allowing players to watch ads to gain double the rewards, maybe something like that for tech points would help.”
- “Hours and hours of grinding just to beat the first two puzzles and get stuck because everybody refused to have babies and then died.”
