Many users express frustration over the frequency of ads, even after paying for an ad-free experience, leading to a consensus that the game feels more like a cash grab than a polished product. Suggestions for improvement include limiting ads to between rounds and enhancing gameplay features to provide a more enjoyable experience.
- “I don't mind paying a couple bucks for no ads.”

- “Positive: it was a fun game, no glitches, no ads. Best game! I would prefer the maker of this game has talent; he/she tried their best to copy the original one.”
- “The only reason I'm giving the game one star is because of the ads.”
- “The game is riddled with ads to the point where the game is not even enjoyable.”

The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many users describing them as poor, choppy, and not reflective of the promotional images. While some players acknowledge that the graphics are decent for a mobile platform, the consensus is that they fall short of expectations, especially when compared to the PC version.

- “The graphics are great for a mobile platform.”
- “Excellent graphics and smooth gameplay.”
- “A very great game and its graphics are great.”

- “I was disappointed. It's not like the one on PC; it has no helpful features and it's boring. I thought it would be the phone version of Buckshot Roulette on PC, but it is so bad. Even the graphics and the drawings are much uglier and worse than the PC version. The photos are misleading; it doesn't even look like the game.”
- “The graphics are so bad that I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that you should put those pictures to represent your game.”

- “This game is really bad; it has so many glitches and no items, literally trash.”
