Cons
Con Lots of waiting around
Many portions of the game require waiting for events to unfold, even with the inclusion of a fast forward button, there will be a lot of waiting. This may not appeal to people who wish to play in short spurts of downtime, as not much will be happening when the player needs to wait on the game to finish tasks.
Con Expensive
How much for a mobile game?! Err, no thanks.
Con Cloud saves not through Google services
An extra account will need to be used in order to take advantage of the cloud saving as it does not work with Googles solution to cloud saves. While this does allow for the cloud saves to work cross platform, people may not want to take the extra step to make a new account with Butterscotch Shenanigans.
