The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, which players find intrusive and frustrating, often leading to a negative gameplay experience. Many users express dissatisfaction with the frequency and length of ads, as well as technical issues that prevent ads from loading properly. Suggestions for improvement include offering a one-time payment option to remove ads and enhancing the selling mechanics to reduce the need for excessive ad viewing.
“No ads!!”
“Very fun, no ads, quick clicking, no lagging.”
“Update your game! It's been a week since its release. We don't mind seeing the ads to lessen the selling period, but to sell an epic item, you need to scroll down 100 times. I don't understand this type of gaming experience. Add a junk shop where you can sell low-cost instant items and browse by rarity. It's so dumb to scroll down to the end for a high-cost item... 😠😠😡 Time waste.”
“Great game, however, I have noticed I'm watching more videos to sell everything off, to get the hammers to then open the boxes to upgrade the characters. I can see many will get bored of this game. How about a VIP or one-off payment to get rid of all the ads?”
“Great game, but these ads are ridiculous, especially if one has paid.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it rewarding and enjoyable, while others criticize it for being repetitive, buggy, and lacking depth. Key issues include limited shop space, frequent glitches, and an overabundance of advertisements, which detract from the overall experience. While some mechanics are appreciated, many users feel that the game fails to deliver a satisfying long-term engagement.
“The gameplay is rewarding, the sound is fine, and the items are interesting.”
“The gameplay is good and everything is totally new except the items.”
“Game had a problem loading at first but I just restarted the app; everything loaded up just fine. Mechanics are easy and you know more or less what the prices are of items.”
“Very bad gameplay, very buggy.”
“The game was fun for about 15 minutes, but it doesn't take long to realize it's going to be a repetitive grind... same thing every auction, little to no strategy, game glitches when you try selling items and just straight up deletes them.”
“This is not online multiplayer; the bidding part itself (the core gameplay) is always against bots, the only multiplayer part is competing in league. Disappointed.”

The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback from users; while some praise them as "spot on" and "perfect," others criticize the performance issues, such as lag and unresponsiveness, which detract from the overall experience. Many players express a desire for improvements, including enhanced visual effects and fluidity, suggesting that the graphics could be better aligned with modern standards. Overall, while the graphics are generally appreciated, there is a consensus that further enhancements are needed.
“The music, bidders, and graphics are all spot on.”
“Great game and love the graphics and gameplay, maybe increase the chance rate to get characters from crates and add more characters!”
“Fun game, good graphics.”
“The game is kinda laggy for a few seconds and is unresponsive... lots of delays... for this kind of graphics, that shouldn't happen. There is no effect or 3D stuff going on. The game needs to be fluid as water. The idea is nice, but I will stick at 3 stars for now.”
“Also thought graphics would be better.”
“Please add a legendary tier for items and bidders and make little improvements in graphics!”

Reviewers suggest that the game's replayability could be significantly improved by enhancing the selling mechanics, as the current system leads to inventory overflow and repetitive interactions with a limited number of buyers.
“The game would be more enjoyable if they added better ways to sell items, as my store is overflowing with too many items and there are not enough buyers. Having the same three customers is quite boring.”
“Once you've completed the main storyline, there isn't much incentive to replay the game. The lack of new content makes it feel repetitive.”
“The limited variety in quests and activities makes replaying the game feel tedious rather than engaging.”
