  • monetization
    45 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, which appear frequently and even offline. While some players appreciate the ability to unlock items through gameplay rather than microtransactions, many feel that the ad frequency detracts significantly from the overall experience, leading to complaints about lag and poor gameplay.

    • “Exists solely to present the user with ads and not a satisfying experience.”
    • “Fun game but the only way to unlock new things is to watch 4-5 ads, as that's pretty much the only way to gain money in-game.”
  • humor
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised, with players finding it both hilarious and entertaining, particularly due to its glitchy mechanics and absurd scenarios, such as cars flying off edges and police cars crashing into water. Many users appreciate the comedic elements of gameplay, including funny graphics and unexpected moments, contributing to an overall enjoyable experience. While some mention that the humor may not be as strong in multiplayer mode, the general consensus is that the game delivers a fun and amusing experience.

    • “I love this game because it is kinda glitchy but in a fun way. I flew off the edge of the water and the cars flew in after me. It was hilarious! I also love running into the tankers or tricking a cop to run into one.”
    • “It's funny when so many police cars are chasing me. I trick them by almost going to the lake, and when I died from the river, some of them ended up going into the river too! Hardy har har!”
    • “Very funny and surprising.”
  • story
    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect receives mixed feedback, with some players appreciating the interesting plot while others find it lacking depth and coherence. Many reviews highlight the frustration with missions and quests, which often feel tedious and poorly designed, detracting from the overall experience. Overall, while the game has potential, players express a desire for a more engaging narrative and improved mission structure.

    • “Graphics are great and it has an interesting plot that actually makes sense.”
    • “I understand the great storyline.”
    • “It's a fantastic game, but there is a really demoralizing bug, that when you get a mission to get a certain amount of points, it won't count it unless you pass the goal by 100 points, which is very hard at higher stages.”
    • “Nothing new, no quests, nothing. It sucks, do not get.”
    • “It's okay, but I don't get the storyline at all, if there is one.”
    • “Games about cars with turrets on them, I guess... cars are okay, but can you put a story mode in this game, please?”
  • music
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while many players praise the intense soundtracks and engaging audio effects, there are significant complaints about glitches, such as music that won't turn off and the inability to adjust or mute it without muting all sounds. Some users also note similarities between tracks from different levels, which detracts from the overall experience. Overall, while the sound design has potential, the lack of customization options and technical issues hinder enjoyment.

    • “Love this game! The music is intense and really enhances the experience.”
    • “Awesomeness! I'm playing some old school rap music, and it fits perfectly with the game.”
    • “It's a great fun game, and the music adds to the overall atmosphere.”
    • “It's a great fun game, but there is this weird glitch when you open the game; it plays this music that doesn't turn off until you close the app.”
    • “It's a good game, but why is Battlefield 4 DLC theme music playing in the background?”
    • “Among other things, you can't just turn the music off; you have to mute the whole thing. I like the sounds but not the background music.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with players reporting severe stuttering, low frame rates around 20 fps, and issues like flickering pixels, particularly on Mediatek Helio X23 devices.

    • “I hope the rest of your products are better optimized.”

    • “So laggy; it is not optimized very well, I believe.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding in the game to be tedious and unfulfilling, often resulting in minimal rewards such as cosmetic upgrades rather than meaningful progress. The presence of numerous microtransactions further detracts from the experience, leading some to feel that the grinding is pointless.

    • “Maybe because I'm not 7, this game is just pointless 10-second grinding with a thousand microtransactions.”
    • “I spent about 10 minutes grinding trying to get a new weapon, but it just resulted in new paint or a vehicle.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is characterized by a playful and humorous tone, with users expressing joy and amusement through lighthearted interactions, such as the whimsical phrase "bobbing for balls."
