Cons
Con Got sapphires?
Con Fry your laptop
If you have a 8 threaded I7 cpu, your fine to have even multiple game running without any problem
But if ur unlucky and sitting on an few years old laptop you might have to let it cool down from time to time
Con The shaman is the only part of the game which makes gameplay worthwile, but it is restricted to only one person out of dozens per match.
It seems like all the fun in the game comes from being a shaman, but it is locked to a single person per match in a room of several dozens people, because all the matches in the game are about gathering cheese, which grants you scores, in which the game compares your scores whit the other players on the same room as you so the first person who has most scores becomes the shaman, and once you become a shaman your score is reset so you have to do it all again to become the shaman.
Gathering cheese isn't as fun and as rewarding as being a shaman, where the real "joy" is, since it is the most difficult and valuable part of the game. Every feature of the game, such as upgrades, goes fowards in valorizing being a shaman but doens't let you be a shaman all the time, which makes the game a boring experience all the time you aren't really a shaman.
Con Horribly boring gameplay
The gameplay is not even addicting, it has a crappy music, it is limiting, and have nothing that really takes your attention at at all. You just go, catch cheese, and ocasionally be a shaman that does some good stuff. Most of the time you just stand up wanting to be a shaman, instead of having the actual fun, which is being the shaman.
Plus the game is so horribly boring i can't even measure. It's awfull...
Con Difficult to understand and to master, which leads to frustation
The game is all about placing objects to help other mice to get cheese, but even so, it is completely physics based on all senses, and even throguh general physics have some logic that is easy to understand, in this game it is difficult to utilize right the physics, because you constantily have to deal whit mice that scrambles the physics all the time, such as creating a bubble to go up and then the mice goes and screw everything up from the buddle direction and so on. The implementation of the mice in this physics game gameplay make it difficult for playing, and this can result in frustration on how hard the game can be.
