- “The low player view makes you sick, the controls make you sad, and the gameplay loop makes you go mad.”

The monetization strategy of the game has been widely criticized as a blatant cash grab, with multiple day-one DLCs and in-game ads contributing to a perception of greed and lack of effort from the developers.

Overall, the monetization approach has left players feeling exploited and dissatisfied.
- “The three DLCs at launch made this feel like a cheap mobile game cash grab.”
- “This isn’t 'indie dev energy,' this is 'cash grab with confidence.' Roblox kids make better games for free.”
