- “This game is pay to win; the reward system is an absolute joke. The mechanic is non-existent unless you spend real money; it's almost impossible to get far.”

It really forces players to watch a nauseous amount of ads to terrible mobile games or products I could care less for in order to make money or get in-game credits, some of which don't give you the credit even after you have watched the ads.”
- “It's a huge cash grab. You will regret downloading this cash grabbing game, if you can call it that.”

Overall, the game's optimization is generally well-received, with many players noting smooth performance even on lower-end devices.
