Strengths

Weaknesses

- Performance issues on older devices (review: 'My phone lags every time I try to zoom in')
- Repetitive tasks and grind cycles after early-game (review: 'Same loop of collecting, building, waiting—gets boring fast')
- Poor handling of server downtime and sync errors (review: 'Lost all my progress once due to a server crash')
