The monetization aspect of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of ads, even after players have paid to remove them. Many users report that despite purchasing the ad-free option, ads continue to appear frequently, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction. While the game itself is enjoyable, the persistent ad issues detract from the overall experience.
- “I paid $2 to have the ads removed, but they keep showing up. That's why I gave it 1 star. Other than that, I love the game; it's fun to build what you want. I wish when I fire the cannon, it would stop breaking off the vehicle every time I shoot.”
- “I used to love this game. I had uninstalled it in favor of a few other necessary apps. I recently reinstalled it and got tired of ads, so I paid $1.99 + tax to remove them, but still get them just as frequently as before.”
- “I paid to remove ads, but I still got them. The rest of the game is good though.”

Players appreciate the game's creative building mechanics, allowing for the construction of complex vehicles like aircraft, but express a desire for more diverse objectives and enhanced gameplay features. Suggestions include improving the placement mechanics, expanding the variety of parts and blocks, and optimizing gameplay for a smoother experience. Overall, while the physics and building aspects are well-received, there is a strong call for updates to enrich the gameplay further.
- “I love this game because it is similar to Besiege, but it needs more parts, new maps, gameplay optimization, and a new camera.”
- “I played this game for a while, and I just made a literal aircraft that actually flies. It has the same wings as a real plane, which makes the plane rotate or tilt. Overall, this is still good.”
- “Love the physics and building mechanics.”
- “Or maybe add more interesting objectives and focus on more of the game's mechanics than pure real-life physics.”
- “I played this game for a while, and I just made a literal aircraft that actually flies. It has the same wings as a real plane, which makes the plane rotate or tilt. There's one problem with my plane: that vertical wing can't make the plane rotate; it's very wonky at trying to rotate the plane when I want. Overall, this is still good, but we need extended versions of pistons and other mechanical components.”
- “I love this game because it is similar to Besiege, but it needs more parts, a new map, gameplay optimization, and a new camera.”
