  • monetization
    627 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its excessive reliance on ads, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the overwhelming frequency and length of these ads—often exceeding two minutes—make progression feel nearly impossible without them. Additionally, the high cost of ad removal options, which only allow for a limited number of ad skips per day, has been labeled as exorbitant and a cash grab, leading to frustration among players who feel forced to engage with the ad system to enjoy the game.

    • “Actually, fantastic game, no ads unless you choose to get buffs or loot chests.”
    • “Monetization is fair and unobtrusive.”
    • “Despite looking like it will be yet another hyper predatory slop game it is super fun and keeps the monetization out of your face, been playing for several hours and not found a single forced ad.”
    • “I can't stand games that intentionally make progression impossible without either watching ads or spending real money to buy useless upgrades that will be obsolete by the next 2 levels.”
    • “The game is designed to keep you watching ads! It's frustrating because this game has so much potential but I'm watching more ads than actually playing.”
    • “You will frequently have to rely on ads to get upgrades or second tries. The game is intentionally made way too hard to win without watching ads.”
  • gameplay
    59 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its fun mechanics, intuitive design, and engaging loop, making it a decent time killer. However, many players express frustration with the heavy reliance on ads for progression, which can disrupt the experience and lead to a grindy feel. While the game offers a good challenge and replayability, issues like energy limitations and ad interruptions detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “Amazing game, simple concept, and the best part is that the ads are minimal and only show up when you want them to. The gameplay loop is fine, but the fun part is just mixing and matching your weapons, though some are obviously better than others. I would recommend picking it up; it's not pay-to-win. Paying just helps with your progress, but only a few things like a weapon are locked from buying, and it's not mandatory to complete anything.”
    • “Compared to other mobile games, this is by far the best. There are no pop-up ads, only ads that you can watch to redeem coins/gems or double your rewards/refill stamina. It does have a few limitations on progress that can feel a little slow, but the gameplay loop makes up for that, and mostly every run feels distinctive to keep you entertained. If you plan on getting any mobile games, this is by far one of the better experiences that I've seen in recent times, and the art style is also very cute.”
    • “The gameplay is amazing, and it's not too easy. No ads during gameplay, and it's very entertaining.”
    • “Makes gameplay horrible.”
    • “It's an ad/money-farm with terrible balancing and extremely repetitive gameplay.”
    • “Energy regen is a joke, levels are insanely grindy, and you’re forced to watch endless ads for powerups; ads are longer than the gameplay.”
  • music
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players finding it annoying and low quality, often interfering with their ability to listen to their own music or podcasts. Users report that even when the in-game sound is muted, the game still reduces the volume of external audio, which detracts from the overall experience. While a few players appreciate the catchy soundtrack, the majority express frustration over the audio issues and the game's inability to allow simultaneous listening to other media.

    • “The game is refreshing and great, but the reason why I took this game seriously and still not uninstall it is because of the music. I love the music, it's so catchy!”
    • “Funny shooting game with a nice 16-bit catchy soundtrack.”
    • “Music is cute and has some bounce in it.”
    • “Music and game sound will play even when they are both muted.”
    • “I don't like the game audio and turned it off, but if I have music playing, it reduces my music audio so everything is quieter, resulting in low volume or terrible, obnoxious in-game music.”
    • “The only issue I have is when I open the app, and only this app, if I have music playing on another app, it would turn it down drastically.”
  • grinding
    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players consistently express frustration with the game's excessive grinding requirements, particularly in the early stages, where they feel forced to grind for long periods with minimal rewards. Many reviewers note that the energy system is insufficient, leading to a tedious experience that often necessitates watching ads or spending real money to progress. While some find enjoyment in the grinding mechanics, the overall sentiment leans towards it being overly demanding and detracting from the fun.

    • “Super fun, super long, not too grindy, no need to pay, and no forced ads.”
    • “My biggest gripe with the game is that it forces you into extreme grinding right out of the gate.”
    • “The game is fun, but incredibly grindy early on, and the 'recommended power' is just not accurate on any of these levels. It's getting less fun and more grindy.”
    • “Energy regeneration is a joke, levels are insanely grindy, and you’re forced to watch endless ads for power-ups; the ads are longer than the gameplay.”
  • stability
    18 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with numerous players reporting frequent glitches, particularly related to ad functionality that often leads to crashes and loss of progress. Many users experience game freezes, especially after attempting to watch ads for rewards, which disrupts gameplay and results in wasted resources. Overall, while the game has potential, its current state is marred by persistent bugs that hinder the user experience.

    • “I've been loving this game, but lately it seems to have glitches when trying to watch ads during gameplay. Sometimes it reloads to the main page, and there's no way to continue the last gameplay, forcing you to spend another 5 energy to start a new game, and it only gives you whatever life you had left from the last gameplay.”
    • “Great game, but I'm running into the issue where the ads are freezing the game and I'm unable to play. Hopefully, this can be fixed on your end, as I've tried clearing the cache and data from the game, and it still freezes.”
    • “By far the most buggy game I've ever played. Half the ads are broken and force you to close the game, causing you to lose your progress.”
  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is often overshadowed by the heavy reliance on ads and a pay-to-win model, which frustrates players who feel that the narrative is interrupted by constant ad interruptions. While some players appreciate the storyline, they find that it automatically turns off during gameplay, detracting from the overall experience. Additionally, the grind for resources and the need to watch numerous ads to progress can diminish enjoyment, leading to a perception that the game prioritizes monetization over storytelling.

    • “Unless you enjoy listening to a story as you play, it automatically turns off when you start playing.”
    • “The game is cool and challenging, very cool even, although after a while playing daily, I noticed the main point of the game is to push ads into you.”
    • “Unless you enjoy listening to a story as you play, it automatically turns them off when you play.”
    • “You can hit play on the story again, but the moment you start playing the game, it'll turn the story off.”
    • “After the first mission, you will spend about 45 minutes out of every hour in-game watching videos so you can either revive, refresh, or gain a weapon.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with users praising the cute art style and good design that complements the gameplay. While not groundbreaking, the visuals are described as enjoyable and fitting, running smoothly even on older devices. However, some players noted issues with ads, including inappropriate content, which detracted from the overall experience.

    • “Overall a really good game, the art style really suits and the designs are really good in said art style.”
    • “This game is great my phone is old and it can't run many games smoothly but all the graphics in this game run really well, very few ads and it is very fun to play ”
    • “Graphics are good (not repetitive).”
    • “While the graphics aren't spectacular, they are goofy and go with the funny music.”
    • “Decent game but... ads can be pornographic and the app doesn't let anything else be played over it like audiobooks or podcasts.”
  • humor
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is characterized by its goofy names and visuals, complemented by a catchy 16-bit soundtrack that enhances the comedic experience. Players find the humor enjoyable and fitting, making it a fun way to pass the time, though some express a desire for even more comedic elements. Overall, the game's lighthearted approach to humor is well-received.

    • “While the graphics aren't spectacular, they are goofy and go with the funny music.”
    • “Funny shooting game with a nice 16-bit catchy soundtrack.”
    • “Game is okay; I mean, the names are funny and good to pass the time.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is criticized for not catering well to weaker phones, potentially hindering performance. Additionally, it appears to be designed to encourage players to watch optional ads for progression, suggesting a focus on monetization over seamless gameplay.

    • “The game is well-optimized, ensuring smooth performance even on lower-end devices.”
    • “I appreciate how the developers have optimized the gameplay mechanics for a more engaging experience.”
    • “The optimization of the user interface makes navigation intuitive and enjoyable.”
    • “It's a good game, but it's not optimized for weaker phones.”

    • “I experience frequent lag and crashes, which ruin the overall experience.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players appreciate the game's replayability due to its engaging gameplay, good difficulty scaling, and enjoyable art style and sound design. However, some users express frustration with random upgrade mechanics and issues related to ad rewards, which can detract from the overall experience.
