The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for being exploitative and unethical, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping. Reviewers highlight a pattern of developers using uncredited work from other creators to produce low-quality games that serve primarily as cash grabs, often accompanied by fake reviews to mislead potential buyers.
“The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism, as well as a cash grab.”
“Ruskija game experience has shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab through this account or closely linked accounts.”
“Much like Angry Bunny, it is a quick cash grab with nothing to bring to the table.”

“In this case, the asset flipper took a bunch of generic assets off the Unreal Marketplace and arranged them haphazardly into yet another low-quality asset flip, this time with a golf swing mechanic, but nothing else of interest to gamers.”
“The gameplay feels incredibly shallow and uninspired, lacking any real depth or challenge.”
“Controls are unresponsive and clunky, making it frustrating to execute even the simplest actions.”
