The monetization strategy of this game has been criticized as a blatant cash grab, with users labeling it an "asset flip" that is sold at an exorbitant price of $18. This approach not only detracts from the quality of indie games but also undermines the visibility of legitimate developers on platforms like Steam.

- “There's a ridiculous, eye-watering $18 cash grab scam price for this trash.”
- “They're nothing but cash grabs, and they harm genuine indie developers by reducing their visibility on Steam.”
