What players say

Players describe it as an idle game that demands just enough attention to keep the window visible, like a fishing minigame or a jumpscare simulator with long silent stretches. Opinions are split: some enjoy the meme value and the power fantasy of guarding the button, while others find it boring and criticize the achievement that requires reaching world record on the leaderboard.
