Grinding game
Improvements I’d suggest are either lifting the amount of candles(currency) that a player can get a day, or lower the cost. IAP cost is definitely excessive as well.
There has also been a problem where creative players found ways to make farming easier, but the company took them away so the only way to get candles is by grinding a few hours a day, going through the same maps every day. It can get really repetitive which is nice sometimes, but if the game is really about connection and relaxing the push to grind constantly for cosmetics takes away from that.
Otherwise, I love this game and the people I have met on my journey and would highly recommend that if you get it, don’t burn yourself out over cosmetics or fear of missing out. Take in the scenery, make friends and enjoy the events without letting prices stress you out.
