The gameplay is characterized by a satisfying loop that encourages progression, but is heavily marred by excessive and intrusive ads that disrupt the experience. While some players appreciate the simplicity and layout, many find the gameplay slow, repetitive, and frustrating, particularly due to mandatory ad breaks and ineffective upgrades. Overall, the enjoyment is significantly diminished by the ad-centric model and technical issues.

- “Fun game with a nice gameplay loop but I had a forced ad break and after it finished the game crashed.”
- “Easy gameplay, nice layout, simple yet not too simple.”
- “Very frustrating game mechanics!”
- “I enjoyed the game but mandatory 2 to 5 minute ads for beating a wave, not a level. So 3 waves had me in more ads than gameplay. On top of that, the game constantly begs me to watch ads, which is obnoxiously annoying and tedious as hell. If it was just optional ones, I'd love the game and might have gone for the no ad pack, but not when you need it to make the game playable.”

If the ads were optional, I would love the game and might have considered the no-ad pack, but not when you need them to make the game playable.”
