- “The worst game ever. I hit him but it bounces; the graphics are the worst. I don't even believe that there are so many 5-star reviews.”
- “This game is not worth downloading. It's laggy as heck; whenever I press a button, I get like 1fps and then immediately get killed. It's literally unplayable, and my phone is not even old. I can pretty much run very graphically demanding games with absolutely no problem.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, often describing them as excessive and disruptive to gameplay.

- “The best part is that it doesn't feel like it's trying to suffocate you with in-app purchases.”
- “Fun, simple, and addictive, without in-app purchases or overly obnoxious monetization.”
- “Finally a mobile game that doesn't charge you an arm and a leg for no ads.”
- “Game is alright and fun but 100 levels of each animal, it gets boring very fast fighting the same animal 100 times. The recent update has changed everything; this game has become pay-to-win. For diamonds, see ads for coins, see ads, and can't even acquire whichever weapon we want. Have to open stupid chests before the coins. The game was simple but now you guys have made it for money-making, adding more dresses and all kinds of dumb stuff.”
- “Too many ads, the game itself is fun but I'm not willing to pay to remove ads. If you're making a free game, why do you need those ads?”
- “It's impossible to win certain levels unless you upgrade your weapon, which forces you to make in-app purchases, which sucks and is frustrating.”
