1!!The game
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The score might be repetitive, but at least it takes 500 listens to wear on your nerves.
3* ScrappyMechanic: The Granny Slug levels implement the theme of sneaking up on Granny while she's napping by sending you all the way back to the beginning of the five-level adventure - yes, even back below levels you've already beaten - if you lose even once, thus "waking her up". It can get extremely frustrating to have to replay the same few levels over and over again just to get one more shot at a level you can't beat, whereas most other levels in the game will only require that you have enough Energy to play again. There have been complaints that these levels are [[NintendoHard pretty damn difficult]], making this a frequent occurrence. Some have even complained that because of how much they had to use to get extra moves over the course of the adventure, the gold that they got upon defeating Granny Slug wasn't nearly worth the trouble.
4** Initially, the Granny Slug levels didn't even restore the health you used to play each level even if you won, but that was fixed in a later update.
5* TheyCopiedItSoItSucks: The game has received criticism for being too similar to ''VideoGame/BraveFrontier''. Using everything from its cute designs to its level-up system in which characters evolve by reaching certain benchmarks to the basic gameplay scheme, even down to the name which uses the same initials, one could argue it's essentially a more family-friendly version of ''Brave Frontier''.
6** The similarities extend to how much the first five Fiends resemble the Six Heroes:
7*** Temper = Vargas (Both act as SeriesMascot and TheHero)
8*** Howie = Eze (Both left their homes for a reason and carry something special)
9*** Tantrum = Lance (Both were someone special before going on a big adventure)
10*** Kwincy = Atro and Magress (Kwincy has Atro's superhero tendencies and Magress's loss of their original forms)
11*** Brittle = Selena (Both were the [[SmurfettePrinciple only girls]] at first)
12* UglyCute: The bugs, especially when they upgrade.
