The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the excessive and often unskippable ads that interrupt gameplay, leading to a frustrating experience for players. Many users feel that the reliance on ads and microtransactions, particularly the energy mechanic that forces them to watch ads to continue playing, detracts from the overall enjoyment and functionality of the game. While some players acknowledge the game's potential, the overwhelming presence of ads and the perception of it being a cash grab have led to a negative reception regarding its monetization approach.

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with fast-paced mechanics and educational elements, but it is marred by a frustrating energy system that limits playtime and encourages ad viewing. Players express dissatisfaction with bugs that can lead to lost progress and a convoluted skill tree that feels redundant due to low daily usage caps. While the graphics and various modes are praised, many users call for improvements such as the removal of the energy mechanic and the addition of multiplayer options to enhance the overall experience.
- “The graphics are great and the gameplay can be fast paced.”
- “Very fun time waster with tons of great modes to spice up the gameplay.”
- “Wonderful game with great graphics and gameplay.”
- “You are gated by the energy mechanic to force you to watch ads if you want to play more than a few times in one sitting.”
- “The worst part is the skill tree to enhance your next game; you need points to upgrade the skills and then coins to use them, with a very low cap of use per day, which makes it redundant and not interesting to use at all. Probably one of the worst mechanics I've seen in a game as it makes rewards outside the playable area unpalatable.”
- “Game is a worse ripoff of Plague Inc. plastered with a ton of ads and soulless cash grab mechanics like coins for base upgrades and energy to play.”
