The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which often disrupt gameplay and lead to a "pay-to-win" feeling. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, they report that the ads can be intrusive and lengthy, detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its frustrating progression system, where players feel stymied by limited rewards and energy constraints that hinder advancement. Users express dissatisfaction with the reliance on ads for rewards and the inability to upgrade their ships effectively, leading to a sense of stagnation and the need for real money to continue playing. Overall, while the missions are described as decent, the narrative experience is marred by technical issues and a lack of meaningful progression.
“Great missions and help.”
“This game keeps your ship at a standstill; it won't let you increase the ship's power or advance in any way until it decides when, no matter how many kills or missions you complete. It stymies you until you get destroyed, then it asks for your money.”
“The game then does my second least favorite thing and takes you to the home menu where you can see the settings button, but are not allowed to interact with it until you play another mission.”
“Finally, real money can only save you to play the next missions as they are impossible to play with this game's progress.”

“Smooth, beautiful gameplay, lovely interaction.”
“New space shooter smooth gameplay, not too hard or too easy.”
“Very exciting and rich gameplay, also easy to pick up and play; it's an upgraded version of your favorite retro game, definitely worth the download.”
“I'm decent at this game: got to level 6 in the 'tower' module, and got through level 16 in regular gameplay, but can't afford to get enough stars to unlock level 17 with the economics of this game (not without pumping actual cash into it, and maybe not even then).”
“Otherwise decent gameplay, but the levels are a bit short and uninspired.”
