The monetization strategy includes minimal ads that are only shown when players opt to watch them for rewards, and while in-app purchases exist, they are not essential for gameplay. However, players express frustration over the cost of new characters and the prevalence of microtransactions, preferring to earn such content through in-game currency rather than spending real money. Overall, the balance between ads and in-app purchases is seen as a mixed experience, with some players feeling it detracts from the enjoyment.
“There are in-app purchases, but nothing pivotal to the game.”
“My only complaint is that the new characters cost real money. I understand in-app purchases are important, but I'd like to play as someone other than Ivan without having to pay $5 to do it.”
“My only complaint is that the new characters cost real money. I understand in-app purchases are important, but I'd like to play as someone other than Ivan without having to pay 5 bucks to do it.”

The music aspect of the game has received mixed feedback, with players expressing frustration over the inability to listen to their own music without muting the game's sound effects. While some appreciate the existing soundtrack, many feel that the game would benefit from a more varied and engaging background score rather than a single looping track. Overall, the music enhances the gameplay experience but requires improvements to meet player expectations.
“Satisfying gameplay! 4 stars for now; if you add some more background music to it, not just one looping sound in the game, it would be a great game anyway.”
“Love the stylish shooting, love the music, and I love the guns.”
“I also don't like the fact that you can't listen to music without the sound effects turning off.”
“Satisfying gameplay, 4 stars for now if you add some more background music to it, not just one looping sound in the game. Great game anyway.”
