The graphics of the game have been widely criticized, with many reviewers noting that they resemble outdated 1990s designs and are simplistic, akin to mobile or tablet games. Common issues include various graphical bugs, limited sprites, and a lack of polish that detracts from the overall experience. While some players find the graphics acceptable for casual play, the consensus is that significant improvements are needed for a more engaging visual presentation.
- “If the developer is able to clean up the graphical issues, and smooth over the learning curve, there might actually be an excellent game here.”
- “3 hours on the game so far and will have plenty more. Ok, the game isn't the prettiest looking graphics-wise, and there are a few bugs that could do with ironing out. They are not bugs that cause crashes, more aesthetic things like when an aircraft is in the hangar and it's a little difficult to see or click on, but it's not a major flaw in the game, just rather a tweak or three needed here and there.”
- “Graphics I would give a 5/10, as they are very 1990s, but then Minecraft graphics are very 1990s in my view. Sound I would give 4/10 as they are basic but do the job, although could be better. But gameplay I would give a good 8/10; the game is challenging and needs a few hours spent playing on it to realize that.”
- “Rather poorly designed game; you can't line up much on the road as they crash and blow up even if being pulled. Very poor management, graphics are on the very low side, very simplistic. Controlling feels more like a mobile/tablet game. About 3/10, needs a major rework. Avoid buying.”
- “Cheap graphics and very few sprites; even some of the vehicles move sideways because there are practically no sprites.”
- “It has lots of bugs, limited gameplay, 1990's graphics, and slow and boring progression - all things that could be forgivable if only the game was somehow funny.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many users highlighting numerous bugs, slow progression, and outdated graphics reminiscent of the 1990s. While some find the gameplay challenging and enjoyable after a few hours, others criticize it for being limited and incomplete, suggesting that it could benefit from further refinement. Overall, the game offers decent value for its low price, but players should be prepared for a frustrating experience due to its technical issues.
- “The gameplay could be fun if a few more things were refined.”
- “Graphics I would give a 5/10, as they are very 1990s, but then Minecraft graphics are very 1990s in my view :) Sound I would give 4/10 as they are basic but do the job, although could be better. But gameplay I would give a good 8/10; the game is challenging and needs a few hours spent playing on it to realize that.”
- “For the price, it's worth a punt. Less than £3 and you have another PC game on your Steam account, and even if you only give it a couple of hours of gameplay, then it will at least last longer than the Big Mac did :)”
- “It has lots of bugs, limited gameplay, 1990's graphics, and slow and boring progression - all things that could be forgivable if only the game was somehow funny.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for lacking depth and a compelling backstory, leaving players feeling as though the narrative is predetermined and unengaging. Comparisons are made to other games like Demolition Company Gold and Godus, which are noted for their richer storytelling. Overall, players express a desire for a more developed narrative to enhance the gaming experience.
- “If you need inspiration, please play games such as Demolition Company Gold and Godus as they have good backstories.”
- “In other words, once the plane has left the gate, even if it hasn't taken off, its destiny has already been written - if you forgot to fuel it up and the destination is too far, all you can do is delay the beginning of their suicidal mission.”
