The monetization of this game is overwhelmingly ad-heavy, with users reporting forced, unskippable ads after every short round, often exceeding gameplay time. The constant barrage of ads—often 30 seconds or longer—and requirement of internet connection solely for ad delivery render the game nearly unplayable and frustrating, leading many to uninstall despite enjoying the gameplay itself. Efforts to pay for ad removal frequently fail, further aggravating players and highlighting an aggressive, profit-focused ad strategy that severely detracts from the overall experience.
- “No ads ever!”
- “Edit: I've been meaning to write this for some time now, but I simply paid the $2.99 for no ads.”
- “I paid the money for no ads.”
- “I have my time upgraded to about 20 seconds, every time I finish a round I receive an ad... that means for every 20 seconds of gameplay I get a 10 to 30 second ad, since I've downloaded I've spent more time watching ads than playing the game... would rate it 0 stars if I could.”
- “You literally spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
- “It's a fun game but you have to watch 30 seconds of ads so you can play for 20 seconds.”

- “For every 20 seconds of gameplay, you watch a 10 to 30 second ad, meaning you spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
- “The gameplay is fine but unplayable due to having twice as many ads as actual playtime.”
- “Bad, very limited gameplay and ads after every game even if you win or lose. They just want your money and not a game that's meant to be enjoyed.”

The story is minimal and lacks a proper conclusion, ending abruptly after completing a sub-mission without further progression. Gameplay is also hindered by excessive ads, and initial missions feel frustratingly difficult with limited control options.

- “Once you have completed the final mission, it stops letting you score or progress.”
