The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitiveness and lack of depth, with many players finding it bland and uninspiring, often comparing it unfavorably to other games like Roblox or Fortnite. While some appreciate the simple mechanics and cartoonish style, they note that the experience can quickly become monotonous, with minimal tutorial support and poor shooting mechanics.

- “Suffice to say you're better off playing Roblox or Lego Fortnite or something, because the gameplay loop just kind of fails to spark joy on every level.”
- “It turns into a grind to try and raid money and level up; the help screen is minimal--there should be a tutorial or a detailed explanation of the mechanics.”
- “If you are looking for a fun game to kill an hour or two with, you won't find it here. Bland gameplay, bland music, bland sound effects... the game is probably fun for the first mission, and even in the middle of said mission you will spend it wondering when it will end.”
