The monetization strategy of this game has been heavily criticized as a blatant cash grab, characterized by the use of asset flips and pre-made templates to create low-effort products. Reviewers describe the game as shovelware, accusing the developers of unethical practices, including the manipulation of fake reviews and the exploitation of others' work for profit. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as exploitative and lacking in originality or quality.
- “Trying to get paid for someone else's game templates and assets... at best, this is shovelware; at worst, it's a scam/cash grab.”
- “This is a deplorably lazy Visual C++ minigame where you just dodge asteroids until your fuel runs out to see how high you can make your score. There's no shooting; this is so dumbed down it makes Asteroids look advanced. This was never intended to be a serious game; it's just a cash grab from known asset flip scammers.”
- “Maraby/кико have shown a repeat pattern of unethically dumping other people's work onto Steam as a cheap, nasty cash grab, through this account or through closely linked/alt accounts.”

Overall, the graphical presentation has left players disappointed and unimpressed.

- “The graphics are terrible, and the soundtrack reminds me of something straight out of the 90s. It's just a loop of a very short sequence.

Wow - clap hands, that's what I wanted.”
