The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive frequency and length of ads, which often interrupt gameplay. While some players acknowledge the necessity of ads for revenue, they feel that the current implementation detracts from the overall experience, leading to a perception of the game as a "cash grab."

- “When I had the Play Pass for a bit, the game had no ads whatsoever.”

- “The game is incredibly fun and challenging, but the amount of ads it forces upon you is incredibly obnoxious.”
- “You will crash a lot and only get 5 lives before you have to watch ads for more lives.”

- “Simple yet addictive gameplay: easy to learn, hard to master.”
- “The setting and background are great, and the gameplay is engaging and exciting, keeping me hooked.”
- “Amazingly fun and simple 'one more time' gameplay.”
- “Gameplay on this version is identical and I'd give it five stars for getting me so addicted, but... I ran out of lives and I can either wait ten minutes for another, watch an ad for 5, or uninstall and play something else.”
- “Great idea but incredibly difficult to get used to the gameplay and you only have a few lives to do it before you're stuck watching ads.”

The music in the game receives mixed reviews, with many players praising its energetic and fitting soundtrack that enhances the gameplay experience. However, several users express a desire for more variety and customization options, such as the ability to play personal music or select different tracks for different levels. Additionally, some players report issues with sound disappearing after ads, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.
- “The game is pretty good and the music is very nice, to boot!”

- “So awesome, I love the soundtracks so much it just fits perfectly into the game, all the ships are awesome and trails too!”
- “The game would be a killer if it had a diverse soundtrack.”
- “Also, no music selection - the same opera-like song keeps playing for every level.”
- “Ok, the gameplay is good, but when it comes to the background music, it makes me lose interest in the game. Maybe add smooth, relaxing background music or allow us to use personalized music, as only certain types of music help certain people focus.”

The reviews indicate that while the game is visually appealing and enjoyable, it suffers from a lack of engaging story and mission variety.

Overall, the absence of a compelling story detracts from the game's potential, leaving players wanting more depth and context.
- “This game has so many details from your craft swaying slightly as it flies straight to sparks as its assumed wings touch the ground. This game has touched my heart like no other; it tells a story through the environment, a story I can't put together, but it's simply an amazing, almost retro game.”
- “The game plot is simple, it has very good visuals with super music.”
- “Wish there was a story mode.”

- “Overall I would say this game is not for people who want story.”
- “I won't lie, this game looks boring; I can already tell that it's the endless type with no storyline. Games like this get boring after playing it five times.”

The presence of ads is generally not seen as intrusive, but many users express that significant time investment is required to advance, which can detract from the overall experience.

stability
7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

- “I really like the atmosphere as well.”
- “The surroundings and atmosphere are very basic but still amazing... it calms the mind.”
- “It's a good game with good visual effects and is generally fun; however, I wish you could see further and had better control over the barrel roll. It would mess things up for me because I still don't exactly know how to do it, and it seems random. But I want to say for people to try, the music in Star Trek: The Motion Picture when the Enterprise is leaving spacedock fits the game's atmosphere and feeling so much better than the music that is already in it!”
- “Graphics are awesome, but I think an up & down button should be a good addition, along with some Earth-like planetary atmosphere.”
