The reviews indicate that while the game starts off enjoyable, it quickly becomes excessively grindy, especially after reaching higher levels like 100 or 170, where players face tedious and time-consuming requirements to progress. Many users express frustration with the balance between grinding and pay-to-win mechanics, noting that it can feel unbalanced and overly demanding, particularly for completionists.

- “Changing my review: it's fun at first but then gets very tedious and expensive to play this game.”
- “You'll reach a point that it becomes incredibly tedious, requiring massive amounts of hours to get to the next level. Once there with your 'new and improved' car, you should make more experience, but that rinse/repeat pattern feels like taking a step back instead of improving. It takes the same amount of shots to destroy enemies, even if you add more guns or firepower.”
- “Game becomes grindy way too quick.”

Many users highlight the game's ability to blend humor with action, making it a standout in the racing and shooting genre.
- “While I love the graphics and concept of the game, I find lots of things absolutely ridiculous, like gaining 1 to 0 gems in most races. The lifepack is too funny to handle when your life is at max and can't upgrade it anymore. You lose the race even faster when you spend 25 gems instead of 3 on recovery, etc. A lot of stuff to upgrade...”
- “Hilarious game with a pug called Gus, amazing graphics, super addictive, and guns!!!!!”
- “Fast, fun, funny, and exciting!!”

- “I had this game loaded on my tablet but then removed it and have tried numerous times to reload it. Every time I try, I keep getting the message that it may not be optimized for my tablet.
