The gameplay is criticized for being vague and confusing, making it difficult for players to understand what to do. Even with a tutorial, the overall experience feels unclear, contributing to the game's lack of popularity.
- “The poor quality and confused gameplay makes it extremely vague what you're supposed to do, which contributed to the game's failure. Despite being completely free, the highest concurrent player count was only 5, and that just happened on one day.”
- “Update: So I clicked the tutorial button and learned the game mechanics.”
