The music in the game is highly polarizing, with many users finding the starting track annoying, repetitive, and difficult to disable until late upgrades, while others appreciate its quirky, humorous nature. Several players wish for earlier access to music upgrades, more variety, and an option to toggle or revert to the original soundtrack. Despite mixed feelings, some consider the music a memorable and defining aspect, though overall many criticize its limited quality and repetitive style.
- “The "bum bum music" (level one music) makes my day every time I hear it.”
- “I love the gameplay, the concept, the humour, the music (especially the first one haha), and everything—such a piece of masterpiece.”
- “The best part about this game is the soundtrack.”
- “The music is so annoying and I can't find a way to turn it off without buying the upgrade.”
- “The first upgrade I looked for was music and sounds, because they are both so unbelievably annoying, but those options don't exist, so I immediately turned off the sound as I reckon listening to it for long periods could be classified as torture.”
- “The music was the defining factor on why this game is terrible.”

The game's graphics start off very basic and unattractive but improve noticeably as players upgrade them, adding visual appeal over time. However, many users express frustration that upgraded graphics often reset after using the time travel feature, making improvements feel temporary, and some upgrades yield inconsistent or minimal visual changes. Overall, while the concept of upgrading graphics is praised and adds charm, the execution is seen as lacking polish and permanence.
- “Upgrading the graphics is pretty fun and easy to do; it doesn't take long before you have a nice-looking game.”
- “I like how you (the player) have to upgrade the graphics of the game over time, and as you do that, the game becomes more visually pleasing to the eye.”
- “Game is good, the graphics are awesome; they are almost 3D-like. New gameplay and a great tutorial, better than the last by one word. I am addicted. Great work, keep it up, dev.”
- “The graphics upgrades for the game itself are a disappointment.”
- “Enemy visibility gets worse with graphics upgrades - enemies become smaller and harder to see.”
- “Graphic upgrades do not line up with each other; for example, a level 2 graphic matches a level 4 item, but they don't align on the same tier.”

The gameplay is centered around a slow but steady upgrade mechanic that some find clever and addictive, while others feel it becomes repetitive and lacks depth. Though smooth and accessible, the core mechanics—primarily clicking to drop bombs—offer limited variety and challenge, leading to tedious grinding for many players. Overall, the concept is praised, but the gameplay often feels monotonous and could benefit from more engaging and evolving features.
- “Playing the game to upgrade the game is a really neat mechanic.”
- “I think I judged this too harshly the first time for being too slow but after playing again it's better balanced than I first thought. It is a slower gameplay style but steady on the upgrades and after some upgrading a little faster paced, including the enemies and bosses.”
- “Great, smooth gameplay but too much grinding. Can you balance out the currency system?”
- “Constructive criticism: gameplay quickly becomes tedious, without challenge if you put a little money into bombs, the laser isn't useful past planet 5 or 6 and the fire/ice/wind ones are always useless, the cloud/fog mechanic is just frustrating, upgrade prices and when you unlock them are whack (e.g. listening to annoying coin pick up sound till level 150? and why is upgrading the hardly used achievement screen so expensive?) Once you've upgraded the look of the main game (which can be done fairly early) there's hardly any incentive to keep grinding through to upgrade some menu you hardly ever look at.”
- “Kinda funny that you can upgrade the graphics and whatever, but the actual gameplay doesn't change and it's just not fun.”
- “Even the gameplay is overwhelmingly simple and disappointing... you just click to drop bombs, that's it.”

The game is widely praised for its humorous and hilarious music, sound effects, and quirky animations, especially at the start, which many players find highly entertaining. Its goofy, fun vibe and snarky humor add to the overall charm, although some users mention the humor can become repetitive or slightly annoying over time. Overall, the humor is a key highlight that enhances the addictive and enjoyable gameplay experience.
- “Omg xd I'm sorry I couldn't even get past the title screen without giving this review because of the "bow-bow-bow-bow" music it was so hilarious this game should have a million downloads it's that funny”
- “At first I thought this game was easy and then I ate those words when I got to second planet and I was getting so close to losing a lot good job on the developer suduck for making it fun, challenging, hilarious, and cool all at the same time and making it into a cool grinding game this is probably the best game I ever played in my life.”
- “Excellent game very addictive, I personally like the square collectors and the funny animation at the beginning :)”
monetization

The game's monetization relies on optional, mostly non-intrusive video ads that players can watch to earn extra currency or upgrades, with no forced ads or in-app purchases. While many appreciate the fair and unobtrusive approach, some users report issues with ads not loading or malfunctioning, and occasional repetitive ad prompts can disrupt gameplay. Overall, the model is praised for allowing free play without pressure but could improve ad reliability and upgrade pricing.
- “No microtransactions.”
- “Like that there's no in-app purchases!”
- “Don't recall if I had to pay to remove ads, but I get no ads unless I want to double my winnings from a level or otherwise earn gold for upgrades.”
- “Either need to grind or watch ads.”
- “Even the video ads which are meant to greatly help you, barely give you anything.”
- “But the ads are not opt-in, and can't be "upgraded" away from.”
grinding

Grinding in the game is widely regarded as excessive and tedious, with many players feeling that progress slows significantly due to numerous upgrades and high costs. While some enjoy the challenge and see it as part of the gameplay, others find the repetitive farming for gold and unlocks increasingly boring and frustrating, especially after reaching mid to late levels. Overall, grinding is a major drawback that impacts long-term enjoyment for many users.
- “There's waaay too many unlocks; I spent the whole game on annoying grinding to unlock upgrades I could trivially afford.”
- “Constructive criticism: gameplay quickly becomes tedious, without challenge if you put a little money into bombs; the laser isn't useful past planet 5 or 6, and the fire/ice/wind ones are always useless. The cloud/fog mechanic is just frustrating. Upgrade prices and when you unlock them are off (e.g., listening to annoying coin pick-up sound till level 150? Why is upgrading the hardly used achievement screen so expensive?). Once you've upgraded the main game look (which can be done fairly early), there is hardly any incentive to keep grinding to upgrade a menu you hardly ever look at.”
- “Really tedious, grindy, and feels like you're making very little progress for the time spent playing.”

The story is generally enjoyed for its fun, snarky tone and helpful guiding comments, adding charm to the game experience. However, some users felt the narrative could be deeper, particularly by explaining graphic changes and including adventure mode story missions. Overall, the story supports gameplay well but leaves room for richer content and clearer progression context.
- “Fun story as expected and the upgrades to graphics look pretty darn cool.”
- “I love the snarky story and the comments from the guide.”
- “Great game, only bad things are the music upgrade wait, lack of story (add something for a reason why the game reverted to bad graphics), and the fact that sometimes the sound effects glitch out a lot—they sometimes don't play.”
- “Would get more money out of the missions instead of taking some serious.”
- “Could improve with maybe adventure mode with story missions.”
stability

- “Buggy”
- “A little buggy, but I love the cheesy jokes and the evolving gameplay.”
- “Freezes, lags and exits the game without reason.”
optimization

Optimization is mixed, with some improvements in performance and upgrade systems, but persistent issues like stuttering after a minute and frequent Google Play Games pop-ups disrupt gameplay, making the experience frustrating for some players.
- “The performance is better, the upgrade system is way better, and the game itself is better.”
- “The game starts stuttering after 1 minute and Google Play Games pop-up appears every time when opening and closing menus, rendering the game almost unplayable.”

Users find replayability to be a crucial and well-executed feature in the game, enhancing its long-term appeal compared to many other Android games. However, some feel that the emphasis on replayability might be excessive.
- “Whilst replayability is an important aspect of a game like this, I feel like that's a bit too much.”
