The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads. Many reviews highlight that gameplay is often interrupted by ads after every level, leading to a situation where players spend significantly more time watching ads than actually playing the game. While some users suggest turning off Wi-Fi or using airplane mode to avoid ads, the lack of an option to pay for an ad-free experience has been a common complaint, with many stating that the ads detract from an otherwise enjoyable game.
βThe game is pretty fun with no ads and I can play for hours.β
βAmazing! I didn't think I would like it, but no ads and smooth gaming.β
βFun, but I'd pay a few bucks for no ads ...β
βYou play a ten to fifteen second round and bam 30 sec ad then repeat. By the end of it, you're watching more ads than actually playing the game.β
βThe game is fun, but the ads after every single level really ruin the experience.β
βYou will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.β

The gameplay is generally described as fun and engaging, featuring simple mechanics that can be satisfying to play. However, the experience is severely hampered by an overwhelming number of ads, often resulting in a gameplay-to-ad ratio that leaves players frustrated, with many reporting only a few seconds of actual gameplay followed by lengthy ad interruptions. Overall, while the core gameplay has potential, the excessive ads detract significantly from the enjoyment and progression of the game.
βThe gameplay itself is awesome.β
βGameplay is fun, but the ads kill it for me.β
βConcept and gameplay is really fun and I was excited to play.β
βShame 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.β
βOverall it could be a great game, but the gameplay is lacking and drowning users in ads is a recipe for failure.β
βThe gameplay doesn't progress at all; there's literally only one level that repeats every time.β

However, many users express frustration with the excessive advertisements, which detracts from the overall experience. Despite this, the humor remains a strong point, making the game enjoyable for many.
βThis game is funny, really bad math... the last time I checked, 50Γ100 does not equal 50000 ππ but I'll take it.β
β5/5 even though I haven't played it, I saw some TikTok stories and played this game; it was hilariously painful to watch someone get shot π€£π€£π€£.β
βSuch a funny game, I'm really enjoying it.β
βNot so good, and it won't be funny if you play for more than 2 hours.β
βThe humor falls flat and quickly becomes repetitive.β
βI expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land.β

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and freezing issues that hinder gameplay and affect scoring. Many players experience their guns getting stuck in the ground or other physics-related problems, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. Overall, the game is described as enjoyable but plagued by significant stability issues that need urgent attention.
βThis 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.β
βI 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.β
βIt'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.β

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 storytelling potential.
βNeeds a story or more upgrades or something.β
βImagine a one-hour TV show having 40 minutes of ads and only 20 minutes of story.β
βHorrible ads after every single mission; the game is trash because of it.β

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 significant drawback, making it hard to fully enjoy the game.
βFun gameplay for a few minutes, but it quickly gets tedious with no new mechanics or puzzles or anything interesting added.β
βLittered 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.β
βNice enough idea for a simple game, but you don't get to play it for more than a few seconds between ads, so tedious.β

Players express frustration over the lack of background music and the inability to adjust or mute gunshot sounds, which detracts from their gaming experience. Many users desire options to listen to their own music while playing, as the constant gunfire is distracting. Some find the game's sound effects interesting, but overall, the absence of music and sound control options is a significant drawback.
βIt'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!β
βFor some reason, there's a song in the background.β
βI 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.β
βThere's no music and 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?β
βI just want to play the game and listen to music.β

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.
βInteresting 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.β
βThe game has potential, but the optimization is lacking. I experience frequent lag and stuttering, even on a device that should handle it easily.β
βI love the concept, but the optimization issues ruin the experience. The frame rate drops significantly during intense moments, making it hard to enjoy.β
