Coin bonus every 5 minutes that encourages you to return to the game + notifications
Grinding reported on Nov 4, 2019
You have to feed the cats and then roll a set % chance to get one. If you don’t get one that’s more time you’ll have to repeat the tasks.
Wait To Play reported on Nov 4, 2019
The items you have to craft to progress all take varying amounts of time, from five minutes up to three hours at my current level.
Recurring Fee reported on Nov 4, 2019
They have a VIP subscription for $10 dollars a month, which gives you so much in-game currency that it bypasses the typical “free” gameplay (This also applies in the pay to win category)

You can spend the premium in-game currency to roll for “premium baskets” which just give you a random item from any of their previous events, among other uses of this mechanic
