The game's monetization is heavily criticized for an excessive number of intrusive and forced ads, often appearing after every level or even during gameplay, which severely disrupts the experience. Many users report that clicking "no thanks" still triggers ads, rewarded ads are deceptive, and purchasing ad removal frequently fails or is ignored, making progress frustrating and the game feel like a cash grab. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, its aggressive and unreliable ad system greatly diminishes player satisfaction.
- “There were no advertisements for me in the first 4 levels.”
- “Able to play 5 or 6 battles with no ads.”
- “I loved this for a long time that I purchased no ads for it.”
- “The "no thanks" button is fake and forces you to watch at least 5 seconds of ads after every game.”
- “After every single level, instead of being able to skip ads by tapping 'no thanks', you're forced to sit through an ad because tapping 'no thanks' also taps the ad button regardless of whether you were close to it or not.”
- “Each level only takes about 15 to 20 seconds and then you get a forced ad. Unlike most apps, you cannot get around them. You get about 25% game time; the rest is ads. Along with an ad after every level, they also have timed ads. The game is a money grab for worthless developers that are greedy. If I could give less than a star, I would.”

Gameplay receives mixed reviews, with some praising the smooth, rewarding gun customization and fast-paced action, while others find it monotonous, unremarkable, or overly affected by excessive ads and technical issues like freezing. Progression and upgrade balance also draw criticism, impacting enjoyment for some players. Overall, gameplay is described as simple and occasionally fun but hampered by repetitiveness and intrusive advertising.
- “The gun customization is addictive, the levels are well-designed, and the gameplay is smooth and action-packed.”
- “Unlocking and upgrading weapons feels super rewarding, and the fast-paced mechanics keep me coming back for more.”
- “Excellent gameplay and visuals, great job.”
- “I'm going to wait for the next upgrade to see if this is sorted, and not play till then, as no one has time to waste if there's no progression, causing the gameplay to become excruciatingly monotonous every time you play.”
- “Gameplay is fine but gets boring quickly and is literally just copy-pasted and slightly edited from some other 'run' game out there.”
- “Poor gameplay loop, and majority of game is ads and app crashes plus auto click taking you out of the game.”

- “It freezes and crashes regularly, so there's no way they're working on it properly.”

- “Running into the fire upgrade that gives you damage but has a fire effect literally freezes my phone until it crashes from all the effects on screen.”
