- “I thought I paid for a fun game to play without ads, just to get a game that crashes on the same freaking level for the past year!!!”

The gameplay is often criticized for being repetitive and overly simplistic, with many players noting that it lacks challenge, as they can get caught without facing consequences. Additionally, the frequent ads disrupt the experience, leading to frustration among users. However, some players appreciate the graphics and find the gameplay enjoyable, despite its flaws.
- “It has great graphics, fun quick-paced gameplay.”
- “Great game with good unlockables and addicting gameplay.”

- “On top of having ads after almost every other level, the gameplay is very repetitive and easy. You literally can't die; I got caught four times in one level and still didn't lose.”
- “Repetitive gameplay, claiming guns loads forever so in the end I stick with the same gun even though I slaved for the other ones. Target reactions make no sense (would a real person not know the direction from where they were hit?).”
- “Absolutely boring, no good mechanics. The nerf blasters are just the same but with different colors and fire rates. Nerf needs to make an FPS, not like their dumb Roblox game; foam FPS is way better because the game isn't a massive ad.”
