The monetization strategy of the game is a mixed bag; while there are no forced ads and players can choose to watch ads for rewards, progression heavily relies on ad views, making it feel like a cash grab. Many users report that after a certain point, progress stalls unless they watch ads or make in-app purchases, leading to frustration. Although some appreciate the option to pay for an ad-free experience, the overall sentiment suggests that the game is designed to encourage ad viewing for advancement, which can detract from the enjoyment.
- “Highly recommended! Very fun and no ads; the only ads are those that give rewards.”
- “The only way to get ducks is by watching ads; the resource to upgrade them is so abundant it's useless. Meanwhile, the red diamonds are incredibly difficult to get with only 6 (+6 with ads) chances a day, so it takes days to level things that need them, which is probably to hide that there's only 180 levels.”
- “If you don't watch ads or pay, progress stops within your first 3 hours of play.”
- “Game is somewhat fun, but the progression system is awful. I hardly get any gold on stage 120; the only way I can upgrade anything is by money dungeons that you can do only 2+2 if you watch ads. The only way to get more ducks is by basically watching ads, which you can do a maximum of 8 times a day. The game feels like it was made so you watch ads and get minimal progress.”

The story is generally well-received, particularly at the beginning, with players appreciating its unique art style and animations. However, some users express frustration with the pacing of missions and the limitations imposed by the game's level cap, which affects the overall progression and enjoyment of the narrative.
- “It also has a unique art style and cool animations, and I like the story at the start. I would love it if you would make more games like this!”
- “Good idea but at higher levels (140+) the rate you'll go through missions is slow.”
- “Good game, limited ads. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is due to the fact there's only 180 levels, and the levels are important for gathering gold. The higher the level, the more you get, but now it's hard to do the missions as things get expensive to level up compared to what you make.”
- “It also has a unique art style and cool animations, and I liked the story at the start. I would love it if you would make more games like this!”
