The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players criticizing the high costs associated with removing ads and unlocking characters, often describing them as excessive or a "cash grab." While some appreciate the absence of intrusive pop-up ads and the option to watch ads for rewards, the overall sentiment leans towards frustration over the steep prices for in-game purchases and the perceived lack of value for money. Players express that the game could be enjoyable if not for the aggressive monetization tactics.
- “It has no ads (except for if you want to get something) so you don't have to sit behind an ad forever.”
- “It's really fun and I've had a very good time playing it; however, the prices of some of these items are far too high, $25 for no ads and some other small things?”
- “I have purchased the no ads option, which works fine when connected to Wi-Fi, but not when you're offline.”
- “However, the microtransactions are borderline criminal - as far as I can tell there doesn't seem a way of unlocking extra characters without paying.”
- “The game is honestly a pathetic cash grab, it's a simple style that could be fun if it weren't for the fact that it is super repetitive, half the time things don't work (example: green squares meant to show safe square still gets attacked) and while there are a couple new characters/upgrades you can get they are all locked behind an absurdly high pay wall, find a different game, these devs don't care about making a good game they care about making a quick buck.”
- “This game would be 5 stars but to remove ads it's a whopping $25 and to get all the extra characters, it's an extra $25.”

The gameplay is generally well-received, with players enjoying its fun and engaging mechanics, though some find it repetitive and grindy, particularly when unlocking new characters. Recent changes to the health mechanic have frustrated some users, leading to difficulty in progressing through later stages. Overall, while the core gameplay is praised for its creativity and potential, there are calls for improvements and additional modes to enhance the experience.
- “I like the gameplay; it's pretty fun, though it's such a grind to unlock any new characters.”
- “Simple gameplay loop that works well as an engaging time killer.”
- “Good progression and addition of new mechanics keeps it fresh.”
- “Plus, the core gameplay is getting so repetitive!”
- “It's a great game, unfortunately I got into the 30s stages when you decided to change the health mechanic, which is way too different. I can't get past stage 3 on 32 because of it now, so I'm just going to have to uninstall because the change is just too much for me. The health mechanic sucks right now.”
- “Two, I can deal with occasional ads; I even use them a lot during gameplay for power-ups, but $25 to get rid of ads entirely is outrageous.”

The music in the game is described as cute and enjoyable, though players express a desire for more variety and improvements in the looping and transitions of the tracks. While the overall sound adds to the fun experience, repetitive elements and abrupt cuts detract from its quality.
- “Cute music, though I do wish to hear more, and a fun game to play on your phone.”
- “The music is improving, but it could be a little better. It might be worth working on the music loop.”
- “I would love to see more variety in the music tracks.”
- “There's one song that repeats, and there's a part where a song cuts out and starts over.”
- “Improving, but could be a little better. They might want to work on the music loop and maybe use custom icons for upgrades; they're bright and not in style.”
