The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, with players frequently required to watch multiple ads to receive rewards, often leading to frustration due to bugs that prevent rewards from being granted. While there is an option to pay a one-time fee to remove ads, many users feel that the sheer volume of ads detracts significantly from the gameplay experience, making it feel more like an ad-watching simulator than a game. Overall, while some appreciate the ability to buy out ads, the overwhelming presence of ads and their inconsistent functionality are major points of contention among players.
- “Thank you for fixing the in-game purchase.”
- “Would like to purchase the no ads option, but it's way too expensive.”
- “It's a pretty good game; it would be nice if there were fewer ads in the game.”
- “Constant playing ads on top or bottom of the screen plus lots of ads while playing - this game is like an ads mine, so beware, plus it heats up your phone fast.”
- “The game locks more than half of its content behind ads and the system is broken enough that sometimes if you do play ads it won't stick and you end up having to watch another ad before you get the item you wanted.”
- “Too many ads and more than 5 times on count that the ads did not grant any reward.”

The graphics of the game are generally praised for their aesthetic appeal and smooth performance, with many users noting the unique art style and vibrant visuals. However, there are significant concerns regarding the lack of graphics options, leading to performance issues such as frame rate drops and lag, especially on lower-end devices.

- “The graphics and visuals are stunning and the gameplay is, simply put, perfect.”
- “Beautiful music, excellent graphics, I would highly recommend installing this game.”

- “I'm using a Redmi Note 9, and I think this game still needs some graphic optimization. When a lot of enemies or bosses use their skills or attack moves, it feels a bit stuttery. I already chose to lower the graphic option to 30 fps, but it still has that problem.”
- “The 60 fps mode doesn't feel like 60 fps. Stuttering boss animation, please add graphic options too, from high to low.”

- “With nothing to work towards like characters, or a story, I will probably grow bored of it.”
- “Pretty much zero story though.”
