The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive ad presence, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Even those who purchase ad-free options still encounter numerous ads, leading to frustration and disappointment. While some users acknowledge the game's potential and enjoy the gameplay, the overwhelming number of ads significantly detracts from the overall experience.

“You have the option to pay $3 to remove ads, but unfortunately, it doesn't work as intended.”
“Even after purchasing the no ads option, the no ads button still appears, and parts of the game remain ad-locked.”
“You spend roughly 50% of the time watching ads.”
“I bought the ad-free upgrade but there's still a ton of stupid stuff trying to get me to watch ads throughout, which is insanely annoying after paying to get rid of that experience.”

The gameplay is generally considered fun and engaging, but it is heavily marred by frequent and intrusive ads that interrupt the experience after nearly every short round. Players also report issues with lag due to the number of units on screen, which detracts from the overall enjoyment. While the core gameplay has potential, the execution suffers from these significant drawbacks.
“I like the gameplay, but after each round, you're forced to watch an ad, and that got annoying very quickly. Each round is short.”
“Not a bad idea, but the execution could be better. There are so many units on the board at once that it makes the actual gameplay super laggy, to the point of irritation. It's a good game, but it just needs some bugs to be fixed.”
“Decent gameplay, though.”
“The gameplay is fun, but the ads are annoying. You get an ad every round, and the rounds are really fast, so there's not a lot of gameplay. I don't recommend this game unless you can handle a ton of ads.”
“Repetitive gameplay, completely ruined by a 30-second advert within 10 seconds of the level starting!”
“Too many ads, decent gameplay though.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it funny and enjoyable for casual play. Many suggest that adding comedic sound effects, such as characters exclaiming humorous phrases when defeated, would enhance the comedic experience. Overall, the fun mechanics and lighthearted tone contribute positively to the game's appeal.
“It's funny and fun; I barely started playing, and it's perfect for passing the time.”
“This is an awesome game, but the characters you blow up need sound effects, like them saying 'oh no' or 'why'—things like that are really funny!”
“It's funny because the guns are fun.”
