Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
the menus are gorgeous however and this has the bones of a really cool game. we don't need more pets, we need updates and fixes. more "gameplay" aka things to "work" towards, without having to put a ton of actual work in (again, it's an idle game, i'm aware of that)

It’s like somebody took Pokémon, gacha gambling, and the serotonin of a warm croissant,
