Players express frustration over the lack of mission variety and the frequent interruptions caused by ads, leading to a sense of monotony and diminished engagement with the narrative.

- “The game is entertaining; can you add naturally generated missions and cinematic replays? This is fun until you play on the last mission, so add the auto-generated missions.”

- “Great game, and destruction, a bit repetitive though, but like everyone else that's giving it a low star review, way too many ads. After every mission, there's an ad, and the level is like 15 seconds, and you'll get stuck with a 30-second ad. I end up watching more ads than actually playing the game.”
- “You spend 15 seconds to complete a mission, then a 30-second ad every time you hit continue, collect reward, and go to the shop.”
