The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, which players frequently criticize for being excessive and intrusive, often appearing after every match. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, many express frustration that the frequency detracts from the overall enjoyment and gameplay experience. Suggestions for improvement include reducing the number of ads or offering alternative monetization options, such as a one-time purchase to remove ads.
“I played this since February 15, 2017, and no ads, no problems, no lag, just fun. If I were you, I would download this right now!”
“You know, best game ever! If you hate ads, turn off your Wi-Fi. Boom, no ads!”
“It's amazing... and there's no ads. The only thing is when you're in sandbox, you can only put the epic people once. Other than that, I think it's okay.”
“There are way too many ads, dude.”
“You literally spend more time watching ads than you will actually playing the game.”
“So easily could have been a great game, however the amount of advertisements execute what could have been a great game.”

Overall, the game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches, bugs, and freezing issues that disrupt gameplay. While some players enjoy the fun aspects of the game, the technical problems, particularly in multiplayer modes and after extended play sessions, detract from the overall experience. Improvements in stability and bug fixes are highly recommended to enhance player satisfaction.
“Great game although it is a bit buggy, so hopefully the developers will fix that. This has a lot of potential; I suggest adding more troops or even maybe allowing us to build our own map so we could create arenas and bases. In my opinion, improving the AI system would also help. Other than that, great game!”
“It's a great game except there's one problem: when the queen worm fights some units in custom mode, it freezes.”
“But it completely freezes after I play it for more than half an hour. After it freezes, it messes up my system so badly that I have to restart my phone.”

The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it both fun and hilarious, particularly due to amusing animations and unexpected scenarios, such as chickens defeating a godzilla. While some users feel that the game could benefit from more comedic elements, like funny physics and additional quirky units, the overall sentiment is that the game successfully delivers a lighthearted and entertaining experience.
“I think it's hilarious because people are always asking for control units. Now I read that top positive comment and I was thinking, what the heck? You got what you want, now you're asking for more? Come on community, just be grateful! Lol.”
“Breaking news: a scout reported that 100 chickens killed 1 Godzilla in under 1 minute. The reason why I rate this game is because it has become the first game that looks a lot like TABS, which is good. I love how the chickens are strong in numbers because to me that's just funny. So, my suggestion: add more units like mechs, hover tanks, and a unit editor so people can do lots of funny and cool things. Hopefully, this game turns out as I expected it: fun, awesome, and funny. Good luck, devs!”
“Funny as hell because their deaths look like ragdolls 😂😂”
“It's cool, but it's not funny.”
“The humor falls flat and feels forced.”
“I expected more laughs, but the jokes just didn't land.”
