The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive ads, even after purchasing ad-free options. Many users report that the game forces them to watch ads to progress, unlock features, or gain rewards, leading to a gameplay experience dominated by advertisements rather than enjoyment. Additionally, players feel misled by promotional claims of ad-free experiences, as they continue to encounter ads despite their purchases.
- “The game itself is fun, but I bought a no ads pack and still getting ads for everything.”
- “Not like other apps, it has no ads and I'm leveling up fast!”
- “Would be nice to buy it without ads.”
- “Sadly the devs are removing every free reward, and locking it behind ads, even if you pay for the battle pass.”
- “It's painfully obvious that the developers do not care one bit about the experience or the enjoyment of the player and care more about how they can exploit the player and extract every cent out of them, whether through ads or paying to advance in the game.”
- “Worst of all, you’ll spend more time watching ads than actually playing.”

The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and engaging, with a mix of weapon and enemy variety, but is significantly marred by intrusive and frequent ads that disrupt the experience. Many players express frustration over the balance issues and the forced ad viewing, which detracts from the overall enjoyment and flow of the game. While some appreciate the mechanics and graphics, the overwhelming presence of ads and pay-to-win elements have led to a mixed reception regarding gameplay satisfaction.
- “Gameplay, while repeatable, is enjoyable with the mixing of weapons/enemies and the lottery for equipment and in-level upgrades adds variety.”
- “Barely any ads, enjoyable gameplay, offline too, really easy to play and understand, no pressure to buy anything, takes a while to get good at but it's great overall!”
- “Good for beginners, casual game and easy to understand the mechanics.”
- “My opinion of the gameplay dropped though with (1) the removal of re-roll with gems and daily bonuses to force more ad viewing, and (2) significant jumps in difficulty between levels meaning likely loss of apple booster and need to spend a lot on upgrades to progress.”
- “The controls are clunky, the mechanics feel like they were coded in 15 minutes during a nap, and don’t even get me started on the pointless loop — it’s as if the developers thought 'annoying = addictive.'”
- “Gameplay is repetitive and has lots of pay to progress options.”
stability

The game's stability is frequently criticized, with users reporting numerous bugs, frequent freezes, and crashes, particularly during ad transitions and multiplayer sessions. Many players experience significant lag and loss of progress due to these issues, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Overall, the game is described as poorly optimized and overly glitchy, detracting from its otherwise enjoyable gameplay.
- “Once you reach a certain level, the game can't keep up with what it's doing and just lags or freezes. Then, once the frames catch up, you're dead and don't even know how.”
- “Glitchy ads, ad-free purchase is not ad-free, and the game constantly closes due to ads, forcing you to replay. A 10-minute round turned into 30 minutes because of glitches and 2-minute advertisements!”
- “Game isn't balanced; you get swarmed by mobs without a mob cap, and it freezes your entire phone. Don't play.”
story

The game's story is criticized for lacking depth, with players describing it as non-existent and merely revolving around simplistic gameplay mechanics, such as controlling an apple with a gun. Many users express frustration over the limited progression and repetitive missions, which often lead to being "soft locked" early on, requiring monetary investment for advancement. Additionally, the frequent ads disrupt gameplay, further detracting from any potential narrative engagement.
- “Also, the standard for apps should be higher; there isn't even an attempt at a story, you're just an apple with a gun killing worms.”
- “Fun, but compared to other games in this category, you get soft locked very early on around mission 5 with very little progression unless you pay money. It would be fine if there was some other way to progress instead of wasting 10 minutes collecting 'scraps' on a mission you know you'll fail, and then only get 100 gold, which won't buy anything. There's also unwarranted ads every 30 seconds without warning in the middle of a mission, just very tedious.”
- “This game is old, and everyone has to watch ads even to complete daily quests now.”

There's also unwarranted ads every 30 seconds without warning in the middle of a mission, just very tedious.”
- “Update: the latest update made it even more grinding or money required to progress.”
- “Not bad for free-playing gamers, but you do hit a wall after a short amount of time that's only passable with excessive grinding or spending money.”
