The game consistently freezes and crashes when players attempt to shoot or kill the first monster, making it largely unplayable beyond the initial levels. This stability issue severely impacts the user experience despite the game's nostalgic appeal and fun concept. Many users request urgent fixes to resolve these persistent freezing problems.

- “I used to love playing this game and recently downloaded it again after deleting it a while back, but on level three when it instructs you to go to the car upgrades tab, the game freezes and then crashes. Please fix this because this game gives me massive nostalgia and I think it's a great game overall.”
- “The first two games were awesome; however, this one is trash. Every time I open the app, it says 'hey m/n,' then it takes me to the game screen and freezes right when I press the first monster. I had to delete the game.”
- “Would give it 5 stars but on level 18 it freezes right when I start shooting.”

Users consistently criticize the game’s heavy reliance on ads and expensive in-app purchases, which disrupt gameplay and create a pay-to-play experience.
