Reception
The game received "favorable" reviews according to video game review aggregator website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of two eights, one six, and one seven, for a total of 29 out of 40. One of its editors wrote, It's a simple game with no story aspect to it, but this no-frills approach makes it easy to lose yourself in the gameplay. You do have arrows pointing out what to do, but otherwise there isn't a ton of guidance, which really makes it feel like you're crafting something original. Others, however, disagreed, saying, It's a little weird to get penalized for failing to do things that have nothing to do with actual craftwork, like tapping the screen at the right moment. Some of the minigames are too hard to follow, and it seems like you're judged too harshly on them as well.
