Reviews
- Great for achievement hunters with over 2000 easy achievements to unlock.
- Very cheap and can be completed in about 30-40 minutes by idling.
- Provides a quick way to boost your Steam profile with achievements.
- The gameplay is simplistic and lacks depth, making it feel more like a cash grab.
- Technical issues such as crashes and poor hitbox detection detract from the experience.
- Not suitable for players looking for a genuine gaming experience; it's primarily an achievement spam game.

The gameplay aspect of the game is rated poorly, with a score of 3/10, as it primarily serves as a vehicle for earning achievements rather than providing engaging gameplay. Players note that the gameplay is generic and lacks depth, with minimal focus on mechanics or hitboxes, reinforcing the notion that the game is designed mainly for achievement hunters.
“But the main purpose of this game isn't the gameplay but the 2002 achievements you get after an hour of idling.”
“There is no real gameplay besides generic stuff because of technicalities on Steam, and you do not buy a game like this for gameplay; we all know why you buy it.”
“All this game does is give you achievements really; gameplay is crap.”

The graphics of the game are criticized for being simplistic and reminiscent of low-effort flash or mobile games, lacking resolution options and meaningful tweaks. This has led to disappointment among PC gamers who expect higher visual quality and more detailed graphics.
“There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”
“The game features somewhat lazy, simplistic 2D graphics, of the type you normally expect to see in low-effort Flash/browser games and mobile apps.”
“Considering this is being evaluated as a PC game, having the graphics phoned in like this isn't going to result in a high-quality, visually impressive game that PC gamers are used to seeing.”
