“Very disappointing, the game also has lots of ads which is so disturbing.”

The story aspect of the game is marred by frustrations related to gameplay mechanics and monetization strategies. Players express dissatisfaction with the repetitive nature of missions, the overwhelming presence of ads, and issues with unlocking new content, which detracts from the overall experience. Many users feel that the game is designed to encourage spending money rather than providing a fair and enjoyable gaming experience.
“It's a great game, but it just needs to be improved. Something more must be added to it, for example, tournaments, daily missions, and some changes needed in the rules. Please add a 4-player option.”
“Once you start winning and not buying anything from your account, then systematically it will not allow you to win. Even if you plot all the pucks, the game will stop, and it will come again. You can play exact shots, but you can't win. This happens after a few games because they want you to become addicted and spend money; otherwise, you can't win more games.”
“Second opponent - same story, third opponent - same story. I have won a game in 2 hours because all the opponents are extremely skilled (level 15+).”
“Once you start winning and not buying anything from your account, the game will systematically prevent you from winning. Even if you make all the right shots, the game will stop you from succeeding after a few games because they want you to become addicted and spend money; otherwise, you can't win more games.”
“The golden chest in the mission is worthless.”
“Very worst app... I have installed it many times hoping it would improve, but it has always been the same junk. The last coin was unable to plot, and if I have to answer a call, I lose my coins. This has been the worst experience ever.”
