The monetization strategy of the game is generally well-received, with many players appreciating the minimal and non-intrusive ad experience, as ads are primarily optional and offer rewards.

Overall, while there are opportunities for in-game purchases, players feel they can enjoy the game without spending money, provided they are willing to engage with the ad system.
“But it's really not a bad game, fairly balanced; yes, there are purchases but no ads (stick to that, please).”
“It makes a rematch utterly pointless, but it is still very well worth playing and you can have a great game experience without having to spend, spend, spend on in-game purchases.”
“Lots of fun, doesn't require a load of in-app purchases to have fun with it.”

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent freezing during gameplay, particularly in critical moments like battles and aiming. Many players experience technical glitches that disrupt their gaming experience, including issues with controls and server connectivity, leading to lost progress and frustration. Overall, while the game has potential, its stability problems significantly detract from enjoyment.
“Very frustrating game, but it freezes in the middle of a battle. You have no time to change weapons or upgrade. The chat is just useless; the pause button does nothing. If they fix the freezing, I'm sure folks would enjoy it better. The bad thing is to let someone know what's going on, I have to shoot at the wrong target, and there is no form of contact with support. It seems to me they just want to push buying an upgrade package on a really decent game.”
“Too many glitches. It keeps telling me my rival wins because I forfeited the match before the game even starts, then takes my coins. Once it was an accident, but every other match is not a coincidence. When you win two, the third is always some constant commenting rival hitting perfect bullseyes half a second into his time. No, that's not a bot?”
“It is quite a good game, but there are a lot of problems. It freezes when aiming and has too many server issues. I lost around 48,000 coins because of the servers freezing. If the problem remains, I will definitely uninstall it this time.”

Overall, the humor contributes significantly to the game's enjoyment and replayability.

“Its just hilarious lol”
“Different faces would be cool, and funny phrases.”
