The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the pressure to make in-app purchases to progress.

“The story mode is difficult to beat without spending any money, but definitely can be done.”

“I haven't had any problems with the performance of this app.”

“My only complaint is lately the game has been stuttering.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and repetitive, particularly after reaching the halfway point, leading to frustration and a sense of tedium. While some appreciate the mini rewards that provide a sense of progress, many feel that the amount of grinding required, especially for unlocking bikes and progressing through stages, detracts from the overall enjoyment. Overall, the game is seen as fun but marred by its heavy reliance on grinding and microtransactions.
“Would be 5 if it was fair to new players, a fun and addictive game but once you get halfway through it becomes very grinding and repetitive.”
“Everything except a fun experience like Mad Skills 1; you will be grinding the game 250 attempts per stage and needing to watch ad after ad for rocket supply to beat the end stages on most chapters.”
“This game is extremely grindy after you complete about 25%.”

Users express frustration with the game's music functionality, noting that it lacks in-game music and interferes with their ability to listen to personal music or videos while playing. Recent updates have exacerbated this issue by stopping background music when ads play, leading to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience. Many players are disappointed, as they would prefer to enjoy their own music alongside the game rather than being interrupted by ads.
“I'd love to give this app 5 stars but it needs to quit overriding real music that I play in the background.”
“Was good, but it won't let me listen to music while I play anymore since the last update, so I won't be playing anymore... shame.”
“I'd rather listen to both the ad and my good music than having it cut it off.”
“I spend as much time closing ads, closing the Play Store, restarting my music on my phone, and then reclosing the same ad again than I do actual play.”
“It used to allow me to listen to music or YouTube with the ad muted, but now it will stop the timed ad from playing when I restart my music or video, and to boot, it will double down on the ads for bingo and such, wasting my time that I want to waste playing Madskillz.”
“I'd love to give this app 5 stars, but it needs to quit overriding real music that I play in the background.”
