The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive ads, particularly after matches. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the aggressive ad placement detracts significantly from the gameplay experience, leading to complaints about the game's pay-to-win mechanics and the ineffectiveness of paid ad removal options. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, the overwhelming presence of ads has led to dissatisfaction among a substantial portion of the player base.

“A bit too pushy for in-app purchases, but the gameplay is fun and quite addictive.”

Overall, the gameplay is praised for its smooth mechanics, enjoyable controls, and appealing graphics, often drawing comparisons to Rocket League. However, many users express frustration with the aggressive ad placements, pay-to-win elements, and the presence of bots, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game remains addictive and fun, with a simple design that appeals to a wide audience.
“I honestly love the concept and how smooth gameplay and graphics are.”
“Great gameplay, addicting tournament setup and my god - the visuals and the audio are 𝑮𝑶𝑹𝑮𝑬𝑶𝑼𝑺.”
“Incredibly fun gameplay, reminds me of air hockey, this one being way better and very unique!”
“At the highest level (costs 100k coins per match) the gameplay is skewed towards your opponent; every bounce off the wall will go towards your goal, they will win every 50-50, and when you bump each other, you will be pushed off not them.”
“Hands down the worst and most infuriating illusion of 'gameplay' on the Play Store.”
“Gameplay is boring and way too easy.”

Users express a desire for a more robust story mode, alongside additional game modes and features such as offline play, unique skin collections, and improved gameplay mechanics. However, there are significant criticisms regarding the game's movement and AI, with some players finding the experience frustrating and recommending against downloading it.
“The main part of the game, which is movement, is terrible, and the confusion is just a whole other story. You play with bots that have 2000 accuracy, prediction, and saves. It's really just a bad game; don't download it is my recommendation.”
