Players find the grinding aspect of the game enjoyable and challenging, but they report frustrations with ad interruptions that prevent them from receiving rewards, leading to a tedious experience at times. Overall, while the gameplay can be fun, technical issues detract from the overall enjoyment.
“It's fun, but every time I try to watch an ad to get a new skill or access the challenge mode, there's a bar at the top of the screen during the ad that says 'swagflip.' This prevents me from exiting the ad, forcing me to restart the game without receiving the reward, which is frustrating.
