The monetization strategy of the game is a mixed bag, with optional ads that can enhance gameplay but also frequent interruptions, especially after failures. While some players appreciate the minimal ad presence and the game's overall fun factor, others criticize the reliance on ads for revives and the high cost of in-game currency and skins. Overall, the game offers a relaxing experience but struggles with stability and balance in its monetization approach.
- “Fun game, almost no ads in this ad-riddled store. The levels are enjoyable, although I would love if there were unlockable upgrades like in roguelite games.”
- “The monetization is fair and doesn't disrupt the gameplay experience, allowing players to enjoy the game without constant interruptions.”
- “I appreciate that the game offers optional purchases without forcing them on players, making it accessible for everyone.”
- “Controls are horrible, it doesn't move the way I motioned or tapped sometimes, it moves on its own, there's ads every time you fail, and the source of in-game money is rare... single pieces of skins being vastly costly, about $100... for about $3 you get 100, by what I recall, purchasing a $3 item does not remove the ads, buying an additional $3.50 item does!”
- “Tldr this game is on the assault with ads and is not stable enough to depend on their currency system.”
- “The game is revolved around watching ads.”

The gameplay is primarily free, but significant content is gated behind in-app purchases, leading to a pay-to-win experience. While the presentation and art direction are praised, many feel that the overall gameplay does not deliver a satisfying experience.

Users report experiencing several glitches that can disrupt gameplay, particularly during long runs. Issues include problems with ad-related revives and the inability to pause after reviving, which detracts from the overall stability of the game.
- “I have found a couple of glitches that can mess up a long run.”

Users suggest that the game would benefit from a structured story mode, featuring mini-boss encounters that unlock new worlds and increased difficulty as players accumulate points. The idea includes a progression system where defeating mini-bosses rewards players with crystals, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
- “Maybe there should be a story mode that after, let's say, 50 points, you have a chance to get into a 'mini boss room' (a white snake that goes with patterns and you need to defeat him) that will give you a crystal half. If you complete the crystal, you will go to the next 'world' with a different palette, a higher difficulty, and you will need to get more points for the mini boss.”

The humor in the game is initially well-received, particularly due to its clever rogue-like elements, which add a comedic twist to the classic snake gameplay. However, players note that the humor tends to wear off over time, leading to a more monotonous experience.
