The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players expressing frustration over the overwhelming number of ads that are often required to progress. While some users appreciate that ads are optional and not forced during gameplay, the consensus is that the sheer volume of ads detracts from the overall experience, making it feel more like an ad-watching platform than a game. Additionally, the lack of an option to purchase an ad-free experience has left many players feeling trapped in a cycle of constant ad viewing to advance.
- “There are in-app purchases, but the developers provided a game that you can play without purchasing and still enjoy it.”
- “No ads forced down your throat, and alternate options to speed up progression outside of said ads.”
- “Monetization isn't obnoxious.”
- “There's an absolutely egregious amount of ads in this game.”
- “The game itself deserves a strong 5-star review, but there's so many ads that I found myself just playing other things because I didn't want to watch 15-30 more ads.”
- “To really make any serious progression, you have to end up watching a bunch of ads.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some players find it relaxing and fitting for the game's atmosphere, others describe it as tormenting and wish for options to change it to more enjoyable or futuristic tracks.

Overall, the music is seen as a significant aspect that could benefit from improvement.
- “I love the progression and simplicity of the game as well as the relaxing music.”

- “Great thus far; music is great, animation is great, UI is great.”
- “Great game overall, but it needs a little detail like 1-(multiplayer) 2-(challenges) 3-(ship/base/mine) designs 4-other (galaxies) 5- most importantly the music. Ohhh, the music! I always turn off the game's music because it's just like a torment to the player. I wish that you could change the music to something more relaxing and futuristic.”
- “First off, I couldn't figure out how to turn off the music.”
- “Good game, but please add a feature that removes the painful music without clearing the sound effects of the game!”
