The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized for its excessive use of advertisements, with players reporting that they encounter ads after nearly every action, often resulting in more time spent watching ads than actually playing. Many users express frustration over the frequency and length of these ads, leading to a poor gaming experience and prompting some to uninstall the game entirely. While some acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the overwhelming consensus is that the ad load is far too high, making the game nearly unplayable.
“I really like this game and the reason why it shows too many ads is because you have data; if you switch off data, no more ads.”
“This amazing game has no ads at all.”
“I love this game; there are hardly any ads.”
“In the first 2 minutes of gameplay, I immediately got hit with 2 30-second long mandatory advertisements that I could not exit out of.”
“You watch more advertisements than you do play the game.”
“The game is not a game, it's just an ad delivery system. I opened the game, before I could draw my logo, it showed 3 ads, another ad when a customer showed, another ad when they gave me currency for their diesel, another ad when the customer was leaving.”

The story aspect of the game is overshadowed by an overwhelming number of ads, which disrupt gameplay and detract from the overall experience. Players express frustration that the missions feel repetitive and poorly connected to the narrative, suggesting a lack of depth and creativity in the storytelling. Overall, the excessive advertising is seen as a cheap tactic that undermines the potential enjoyment of the game.
“This game is now available on its own website. I have requested everyone to open this game through internet band; it will be very helpful for them, so thank you all for listening to my entire story.”
“Only 1 of the first 3 missions had to do with gas; it just seems like a cheap way for the developer to get a few dollars from going ad-free.”
“Every mission, you'll receive 3-5 ads, and it's really irritating.”
“Do literally one thing and then an ad, do another thing (same mission), and you guessed it, another stupid ad (technically two). The game could be fun if not for the ads.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent ads causing interruptions and freezing problems that frustrate players. Many users report that the game becomes unplayable due to these persistent glitches, particularly when attempting to exit ads.

“Nice game, interactive with no glitches. Lots of ads though; other than that, it's simple and easy.”
“The game runs smoothly without any crashes, making for a seamless experience.”
“I appreciate how stable the gameplay is; I haven't encountered any bugs or issues.”
“Ads every few seconds and freezes often.”
“The app sucks because after you put in your gas station name on the sign, the game freezes. I want to sue the people who created this game; it's a huge waste of time.”
“The game is great but gets boring after a while. However, the ads every 5 seconds are annoying and take over the entire game. What annoys me the most is that when an ad pops up and I push the 'X' to exit, it freezes up. Please fix this.”
