- “Simple but addictive game that always delivers a fun and challenging gameplay; it genuinely has a playability where each turn has you hoping to outplay the last!”
- “Must say... gameplay is minimal yet immersive enough to hook you; also the skip button is well placed.”
- “5 stars... the simple gameplay and great graphics is what makes this game stand out from the rest!”
- “The controls are a bit difficult to maneuver the plane, especially when it is hit by missiles. Additionally, there should be an option to change the color or theme of the game background or in gameplay.”
- “But what I don't like about this game is that even though I have a faster plane with all the upgrades, I still can't score more than 650 in gifts, no more than 1000 missiles crashing into each other, and can't destroy more than 65 planes using EMP after almost 2 hours of continuous gameplay.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth, as players feel that after completing the 45 missions, there is little to no narrative progression or replayability. Many users express a desire for additional missions and a more engaging storyline, suggesting that the game feels more like a simple arcade experience rather than one with a compelling narrative.

- “I like that they give you missions and other fighter planes to avoid; it's a nice addition to this type of game.”
- “To get the next level missions, we had to fail that game (flight should be crashed). If you guys made a small change that allows us to take the next level or shows next level missions, it will make the game better.”
- “Could have been better if it had some story instead of being just an arcade game.”
- “The events regarding the quests are not immediately recorded, so if you die soon after you finish a quest, it may have been in vain.”
