The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized for its excessive reliance on ads, with players reporting that they are often forced to watch numerous ads to progress or unlock upgrades. Many users express frustration over the lack of an option to pay for an ad-free experience, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some players acknowledge that the game has potential, the intrusive ad system significantly detracts from the overall enjoyment and progression.
- “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.”
- “In the beginning it's okay, ads for sure but the ramp up is insane. To unlock planes, you go from 10 million to 1 billion to 1 trillion, and at that point, you're only earning 1-5 billion per campaign level. After 100 campaign levels, you finally unlock one plane.”
- “This game has potential, but the fact that the developer decided to force watching ads in order to progress upgrades is ridiculous.”
- “You must watch dozens of ads to max income on each plane, and whenever you prestige, you must watch them all again.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly in the campaign where they must repeatedly dodge missiles to earn points for unlocking new aircraft. The limited number of planes and the necessity to grind through every level detracts from the overall enjoyment, making the experience feel more like a chore than fun.
- “The campaign portion of the game is simply dodging missiles ad nauseam, grinding to earn enough points to unlock the next aircraft.”
- “Furthermore, the way to get new planes gets very tedious and repetitive.”
- “Only 4 planes available and grinding in the campaign is tedious.”

- “The campaign missions to earn gold for new planes offer a different experience, even if they can be a bit tedious at times.”
- “The campaign missions to earn gold for new planes are horrendously boring and frustrating.”
