Overall, while some players appreciate the comedic elements, others feel they detract from the overall experience.

“Superb funny to play 🤣.”
“The game seems to be aimed at 8 to 10 year olds with its simple graphics, shallow gameplay, and meme-based unfunny jokes everywhere.”

“I expected clever writing, but instead, the jokes fell flat and often felt like they were trying too hard to be funny.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent freezing, bugs, and crashes reported across various modes. Many players experience issues that require restarting the game, often resulting in lost progress and upgrades. While the game has potential, its current state is marred by instability, leading to frustration and negative experiences for users.
“Another problem is that the game randomly freezes sometimes.”
“Really good game still needs to get to the stage to start earning crypto, but one problem is that it constantly freezes when I try to enter certain modes like 'idle boss', 'marketplace', 'my collection' to name a few... please can there be a solution to this problem and a fix to it please.”
“Don't be fooled by this app; if the ratings have negative, I will rate this -5 stars. This app is harmful; it freezes my phone. I thought I would never be able to use my phone again. Just imagine your phone freezing and you can't take any actions or click anything, even the power switch won't work. The screen just suddenly turns black. I will never recommend this to anyone.”

The game's optimization is widely criticized, with users reporting significant lag, overheating, and performance issues, particularly on lower-end devices. Many players experience crashes and frame rate drops, making the game difficult to enjoy, despite some initial smooth performance. Overall, there is a strong consensus that the game requires urgent optimization improvements to enhance usability and prevent damage to devices.
“When I install the app it runs smoothly, but now it's so laggy and I think it affects my phone, and I'm only playing for about 3 days now.”
“Still lagging; I checked all the settings and the performance settings.”
“It affects my phone's performance.”
“Game not optimized for lower-end devices... I have this 2018 model phone and it gets super hot and maybe 12fps, but it's still playable. However, I can't afford to play while in charging mode with tremendous heat coming from the phone.”
“The game is too cranky and freezes whenever I interact with any interface. I can't play much because of this. I enabled my low performance settings, but it doesn't work. I hope they can address this problem.”
“But the performance is not good; I experience my phone crashing, so I rate it 1 star.”

Players have mixed feelings about the grinding aspect of the game; while some appreciate the opportunity to level up and earn in-game currency through grinding, many express frustration over the lengthy tutorial, the high costs of upgrades, and the necessity to either grind extensively or spend money to progress. The grind can feel tedious, with some players feeling stuck against stronger opponents in PvP, while others find enjoyment in the process despite the challenges. Overall, grinding is seen as a significant but polarizing element of the gameplay experience.
“The tutorial is ridiculously long, and once you're done with it, you can finally access the area to make actual money. It needs to be a certain level and star rating, which takes a lot of grinding or a lot of money. Once you get so far in the campaign, your character makes a remark after every boss, which is extremely annoying and unnecessary. The PvP constantly puts me against players I can't beat, and when I refresh, it cycles through the same 2-3 people, if at all.”
“So you either pay or spend several hours grinding to just start earning crypton.”
“I've been grinding and have 59 crypton, and it takes thousands to do anything.”

“Background music bugs and it's creepy.”

“It’s just the same mission, same reward.”
“What in the hell is wrong with this game? I can't claim the reward from the best game mission reward. Another stupid game with lots of lies 🤮 If I could give 0 stars, I would.”
