Common complaints:
- Censored version disappoints players (weight 0.64): Several players complain that the game is censored, lacks mature content, and that the uncensored version requires buying a different game from a different developer. This is a significant issue for those expecting adult content.
- Game difficulty is inconsistent (weight 0.46): Multiple players note that the game is sometimes difficult, with specific reasons including small space, large fruit sizes, and irregular shapes. The difficulty seems to stem from spatial constraints rather than skill-based challenges.

- Technical and translation issues (weight 0.3): The science unlock is troublesome, merging logic is not logical, and the machine translation is hard to bear. Windowed mode is not recommended because the mouse is not locked to the edge, adding to usability problems.

- Shop and rewards poorly balanced (weight 0.24): The shop only allows buying items, not selling them, and food items become useless after collecting CG. Rewards from completing a game are not enough to buy expensive items, making the economy frustrating.
- Game perceived as scam (weight 0.2): Some players believe the game is a scam because two versions are sold separately, and this version has cut content. This perception is damaging to trust and overall satisfaction.
- Content cut in this version (weight 0.19): This version has cut content, such as each girl only having two levels instead of four, and no patch is available to remove censorship. This reduces the game's completeness and value.

- Tags and leaderboards misleading (weight 0.18): Players complain that the game's tags are massively wrong and that leaderboards seem fake. This undermines the credibility of the game's presentation and user experience.
- Achievements too time-consuming (weight 0.18): Getting all achievements is too time-consuming, and some achievements are ugly. This discourages completionists and reduces the appeal of achievement hunting.

- Love system and feeding mechanics flawed (weight 0.18): The girls' love has a limit but their appetites are endless, and feeding them does not make them share love mutually. This makes the relationship mechanics feel unbalanced and unrewarding.
- Power-ups and leveling ineffective (weight 0.18): Power-ups cost gold and are not worth it, and the level-up system has no real effect on the game. This makes progression feel meaningless and reduces strategic depth.
- Buggy with item deletion (weight 0.12): The game is buggy, with items getting deleted unexpectedly, which can ruin progress. This technical issue is a significant source of frustration.
