The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive number of ads. Players report spending significantly more time watching ads—often after every level—than actually playing the game, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Many users expressed a desire for a paid option to remove ads, indicating that the current ad frequency is a major deterrent to continued play.
“The game is pretty fun with no ads and I can play for hours.”
“Amazing! I didn't think I would like it, but no ads and smooth gaming.”
“Fun, but I'd pay a few bucks for no ads ...”
“You play a ten to fifteen second round and bam, 30 sec ad. By the end of it, you're watching more ads than actually playing the game. If you had ad removal so we could pay to have them removed, this would be the greatest game like this ever.”
“The game is good, but when you use the finger gun, you fall out of the map. Also, there are too many ads, and maybe make the levels harder.”
“You will spend more time waiting on ads than playing. The gameplay is sort of fun, but the game has an egregious amount of ads and the upgrades you get hinder your level rewards.”

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, with simple mechanics that can be satisfying; however, it is severely hampered by an overwhelming number of ads. Players report a frustrating ratio of gameplay to ads, often experiencing only a few seconds of play followed by lengthy advertisements, leading to a repetitive and tedious experience. While the core mechanics have potential, the excessive ad interruptions detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“The gameplay itself is awesome.”
“Gameplay is enjoyable but far too many ads.”
“Concept and gameplay is really fun and I was excited to play.”
“Shame too, because the core mechanics of the game are simple and it's satisfying to land good shots and keep the sense of speed up, but standard levels are very short, enemy variety is mediocre, and, as I mentioned, it's riddled with ads.”
“Overall it could be a great game, but the gameplay is lacking and drowning users in ads is a recipe for failure.”
“The gameplay doesn't progress at all; there's literally only one level that repeats every time.”

“Amazing and funny when you get the machine gun and hold the screen; it spins and it's funny.”
“Such a funny game, I'm really enjoying it.”

“The humor falls flat and quickly becomes repetitive.”
“I expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues that significantly hinder gameplay. Common problems include guns getting stuck in the ground, bullets wasted due to bugs, and the game shutting down after ads. Overall, while players enjoy the game, the persistent technical issues detract from the experience and lead to frustration.
“This game is nice, but when I am playing infinity mode, it shows glitches that waste my bullets. Today, I wasted 90 bullets with 6000 points due to a glitch. Most glitches occur after I shoot the pillar, and then in the next round, my gun gets stuck to the ground and can't move while I shoot all 90 bullets.”
“I love the game; it's amazing, but it freezes a lot. I got x100000 a lot of times, but some of the freezes prevented me from getting it, or the ads stopped it.”
“It's not a bad game; it's just that there are a whole lot of glitches that completely wipe out my high score and get me stuck in the ground.”

Players express frustration with the game's story aspect, noting that the frequent interruptions from ads overshadow the narrative experience. The short missions leave little room for story development, leading to a desire for more engaging content and upgrades to enhance gameplay. Overall, the excessive ad presence detracts significantly from the enjoyment of the story.
“Needs a story or more upgrades or something.”
“Imagine a one-hour TV show having 40 minutes of ads and only 20 minutes of story.”
“Horrible ads after every single mission; the game is trash because of it.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, primarily due to the frequent ads that interrupt gameplay after nearly every level. While the gameplay may be enjoyable in short bursts, the lack of new mechanics and the overwhelming presence of ads contribute to a frustrating experience that feels more like a cash grab than a well-designed game. Overall, the grinding is seen as a major drawback, making it difficult for players to fully enjoy the game.
“Fun gameplay for a few minutes, but it quickly gets tedious with no new mechanics or puzzles or anything interesting added.”
“Littered with ads, extremely tedious and repetitive gameplay coupled with a terrible gun unlock system leads to a massive cash grab that's impossible to thoroughly enjoy unless you're under 5 years old.”
“Nice enough idea for a simple game, but you don't get to play it for more than a few seconds between ads, so tedious.”

Users express frustration over the lack of background music in the game, with many noting that the constant gunshot sounds make it difficult to enjoy other audio, such as music or videos. Additionally, the settings button is reportedly unresponsive, preventing players from adjusting sound options. While some find the sound effects interesting, the overall consensus is a desire for more musical elements and better sound control.
“I just want to play the game and listen to music.”
“It's cool but I want to say this but I know people may not understand but it sounds like you can make music with it. If you go like bing bong bing bong back and forth, it is actually cool. I like this game but one problem, please fix the lagging in the bug if you mind. Thanks, have a nice day by the way if you're reading this, you have a beautiful life in your family.”
“For some reason, there's a song in the background.”
“Can't push the settings button to remove sound... whenever I try to push the settings gear icon, the gun starts shooting and the gear disappears... so there's no way to listen to music and play without gunshots in your ear.”
“Also, there's no music and there's no option to turn the gun sound down, which is bad because I usually watch a video or listen to music while playing a game. It's hard when there's constantly a gunshot sound, and without background music, it's not as interesting. Can you add some?”
“Can't get to settings; it's not clickable. I just wanted to mute the sound so I can listen to music while playing.”

The game is considered interesting, but it suffers from significant optimization issues, as players experience frequent frame rate drops during action sequences, even on high-performance devices.
“Interesting game, but not really optimized (high performance phone here) and action slows down quite often; basically for every shot, there's a drop in frame rate.”
