The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with the developer using low-quality tools and stolen assets to create a minimal product for quick profit on Steam. Additionally, there are concerns about fake reviews being generated by accounts that appear to be linked to the developer, further undermining the game's credibility.
- “The developer used the craptastic GameMaker Studio video game construction kit, copying and pasting and arranging premade/stock assets they stole from someone, arranging them into a minimally functioning product to dump quickly onto Steam Direct as a cash grab.”
- “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time, very shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
