The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay. While some players appreciate the game's nostalgic value and occasional ad-free moments, the overwhelming presence of ads—often appearing after every action—has made the game nearly unplayable for many. Additionally, the introduction of premium items locked behind paywalls has further soured the experience, leading to calls for a reduction in ad frequency and a more balanced monetization approach.
- “This game is so fun and funny; I'm addicted to it, and I also love it because there are hardly any ads.”
- “I love it, but there are too many in-app purchases.”
- “Sadly, this game has aged poorly and it's now baked with obtrusive ads.”
- “Scummy game, this game hasn't been updated in years and forces ads every time you do anything, practically forces you to pay to get new items, because if you don't it will take you a full week of playing just to get one new item.”
- “The game has so many ads it's literally unplayable, there are ads every 45 seconds.”

The graphics of the game have received mixed reviews, with many users expressing disappointment over the transition to a modern style that lacks the charm of the original dithered graphics.

- “The game went from good to bad, the graphics are terrible and I know this game is for iPods, it doesn't look that fun like the images. I really wish the game got a revamp and not act like other terrible mobile games.”

The gameplay has received significant criticism following a recent update, with many players expressing disappointment over the modernization that detracts from the game's nostalgic appeal.

Additionally, the presence of excessive ads and a quick decline in engagement have further contributed to a negative perception of the overall gameplay experience.
- “The most peak gameplay at midnight.”
- “Good gameplay, please add nuclear weapons.”
- “This new update has completely overhauled the game and it was something that shouldn't have been touched. This game was so nostalgic and now it just looks like a crappy modern mobile game. They should at least add a classic mode that reverts the graphics and gameplay, if not just undo this stupid modernization.”
- “The game could be fun, but the throwing mechanic is just awful. It curves and turns in directions you don't want it to go, making it annoying to throw an object at a specific item like the mug or photo.”

- “This game is so awesome! I don't even know what to say. When I first saw it, I just downloaded it on my iPhone 11 to find a game, and it was the one. I have no more games, but I'm not trying to tell my life story; it's just awesome.”
