The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching ads than actually playing the game, which significantly detracts from the overall experience. Even those who pay for an ad-free version still encounter numerous ads, leading many to label the game as a cash grab focused primarily on advertising revenue rather than enjoyable gameplay.
“I was enjoying the game (despite all the ads), so I decided I'd give the developers $3 to get rid of the ads since they put time into the game.”
“I paid for no ads, but I still have to watch ads to upgrade weapons or play boss fights.”
“I paid for no ads and still have ads, don't waste your money.”
“This game is not about playing a game but about watching ads and making the developers rich.”
“I paid to remove the ads, and progression is 100% locked behind more ads.”
“You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”

The game's story is minimal and often feels repetitive, with players struggling to engage with the narrative due to the overwhelming presence of ads. Users report that the gameplay is frequently interrupted by advertisements after nearly every mission, detracting from any potential story development and making the experience feel more like a cash grab than a cohesive game. Overall, the lack of a compelling storyline combined with excessive ad interruptions leads to a frustrating experience for players.
“The game has potential but very minimal story, way too many ads to be fun.”
“You play a mission for 15 seconds and get a 30-second ad after.”
“This game has a lot of bugs, biggest one is enemy getting stuck at the end of the mission!”
“But each paragraph is just rephrasing the last, and you never really get the story until you Google it.”
“This game kinda gets boring because it has no storyline, just the same concept.”
“The reason I'm giving this such a low rating is I finished the first mission, which was all of 3 seconds, and it popped up for a rating, not asking for a rating but to the rating screen.”

Overall, the game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant lag and stuttering, especially at higher levels. Many players note that the performance degrades as they progress, leading to frustration with both gameplay and excessive ads. While a few users found the game well-optimized, the majority agree that it requires substantial improvements to enhance performance and reduce interruptions.
“Could probably use some optimizations.”
“Not very well optimized.”
“This game is well optimized and fun!!”
“In fact, the number of ads and the lack of optimization cause this relatively simple game to run poorly.”
“But both times, as soon as I got to level 900+, the game starts stuttering when the shooters are running around.”
“This game has terrible optimization; more ads than gameplay, randomly sent me to rate it without asking, and worst of all, at the end of every level there is an option to watch an ad for 3x coins, so if you decline and try to play another round, you still get an ad.”

Players consistently criticize the grinding aspect of the game, noting that it becomes excessively tedious and repetitive, especially after reaching higher levels. Many feel that the increased difficulty and reliance on ads for progression detract from the overall enjoyment, leading to frustration and a sense of being exploited for ad revenue. Overall, while the game may start off fun, it quickly devolves into a grind-heavy experience that many find unenjoyable.
“As soon as I started to play the level again, the numbers needed to destroy each block in the level had increased to reflect my increase in firepower, which looped me right back into the same level I couldn't beat without grinding heavily and watching ads.”
“It does have a few bottlenecks as you get higher in levels, which requires grinding, and tends to be a bit app heavy/reliant on watching ads to make any progression at higher levels.”
“This game is fun at first, but after about level 50, it becomes very tedious.”
