The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive and forced advertisements, which are required to progress and unlock upgrades. Players report spending a significant portion of their gameplay time watching ads, with many expressing frustration over the lack of an option to pay for ad removal. While some acknowledge the potential for fun, the overwhelming presence of ads is seen as a major deterrent, leading to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience.
“You need a no ads bundle.”
“Given that this is obviously a cash-grab app, it's not too bad; the microtransactions aren't shoved down your throat, and progression is fairly quick for free-to-play players.”
“The problem is that you have to watch so many ads, and everything in this game makes it too hard to play, which means you practically have to wait months just to do something.”
“This game has potential, but the fact that the developer decided to force watching ads in order to progress upgrades is ridiculous.”
“Great game, but lots of ads are required to advance, and there is no option to pay to remove ads.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in the campaign mode, where they must repeatedly dodge missiles to earn points for unlocking new aircraft. The limited number of planes and the overall grindiness detract from the enjoyment, making the campaign feel boring and unworthy of the effort required.
“Grinding through every level, every single time is a bit egregious.”
“Only 4 planes available and grinding in the campaign is tedious.”
“The 'campaign' portion of the game is simply dodging missiles ad nauseam, grinding to earn enough points to unlock the next aircraft.”
