Many users express frustration over the frequency of ads, often encountering multiple ads after every level or action, which detracts from the overall gaming experience.

“You may need to upgrade amidst multiple failures, but you get the coins or whatever at each attempt plus free bonuses if you choose, again, with no ads once you pay the one time.”

Players have expressed frustration with the game's optimization, noting that upgrades do not yield any noticeable performance improvements despite significant investment in resources. Many feel that the lack of effective upgrade mechanics and the frequent ads detract from the overall experience, leading to a sense of wasted time.
“The game has no real upgrade physics. I went back to level one thinking I had a high-level slingshot, but it's not as powerful as it should be. I saved up almost 200k and upgraded from level 60 motor and 60 slingshot to 75 in both, but I saw absolutely zero performance gain in the level I'm stuck on. If you're going to make a game, at least make the upgrades work as they should. After 60+ tries and over 250k in upgrades, I can only jump so high on this level... 4th map, 2nd level. The game is a waste of time.”
“Every launch entails 1-2 ads, and every upgrade provides no increase in performance.”
