    The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many reviews highlight that ads appear after nearly every attempt, often regardless of whether players opt to watch them for rewards, leading to a perception of the game as a cash grab. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the consensus is that the frequency and intrusiveness of the ads significantly detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

    • “If you have a spare 2 dollars, I would advise to get no ads because it makes the game twice as fun.”
    • “I love this game just like I love his channel; you hardly pay for no ads.”
    • “The game is fun and it passes time well; however, I purchased no ads on the game through this Google account and I switched phones a few days after making the purchase, but after switching phones, even when I log into the same Google account, I have ads and I can't restore my purchase, so I have to pay again to have no ads.”
    • “The game is fun, but the ads gradually make me not want to play it at all.”
    • “I really love this game but it feels more like I'm spending most of my time watching ads rather than playing.”
    • “I understand that ads in mobile games are how the developers are supposed to make money, but it's still extremely annoying.”

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it repetitive and lacking depth, often comparing it unfavorably to other similar titles like "Burrito Bison."

    • “The gameplay is boring and it is riddled with ads more so than most other games I've played prior.”

  • graphics148 mentions

    The graphics of the game have received a generally positive reception, with many users praising the vibrant art style and animations that reflect the creator's unique aesthetic. However, some critiques highlight inconsistencies in quality, comparing it to low-budget or bootleg games, and noting that while the visuals are appealing, they do not compensate for the game's simplistic gameplay and excessive ads.

    • “The graphics are bad, the game is really really simple, too simple for a mobile game in 2020.”
    • “Just a horrible game, boring concept, unresponsive controls, bad graphics, annoying music; I could go on, just a shameful money grab to be honest.”
  • music136 mentions

  • stability60 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and crashes that can even affect their devices. While some players have experienced smooth gameplay without issues, the overall consensus indicates that the game requires substantial polishing to address these stability problems. Additionally, the presence of intrusive ads further detracts from the gaming experience, leading to mixed reviews regarding its stability.

    • “This game is very fun; no glitches I've experienced, and I'm addicted to this game. Thank you, James.”
    • “The animations are stiff and nowhere near as stylized as on the channel, the placement of obstacles and objects to bounce off of make little to no sense, often forcing you to hit a rock due to no other objects nearby, and the game is full of glitches.”
    • “I wouldn't recommend downloading this game; first of all, it freezes, and second of all, when it freezes, it takes over your entire phone.”
    • “Awful, almost set my phone on fire... I'm not even joking, it wouldn't load, the music was glitchy, I couldn't even turn my phone off because it was so laggy; I had to take the battery out of my phone to turn it off!”
  • story34 mentions

    The game's story is generally criticized for being weak or nonexistent, with many players expressing a desire for a more developed narrative and engaging quests. While some appreciate the connection to the YouTube animator TheOdd1sOut, they feel that the gameplay lacks depth and variety, often resorting to repetitive mechanics.

  • grinding17 mentions

    Players generally find the game enjoyable but note that it involves significant grinding, often requiring repetitive gameplay to collect enough resources, such as donuts or coins. While some appreciate the fun factor, many express frustration with the high demands for progression and the prevalence of ads, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game maintains a loyal fanbase who enjoy the grind as part of the gameplay.

    • “A smaller complaint is that the amount of donuts needed to buy something is really high; collecting enough just by playing the game normally takes a long time of grinding over and over with the same repetitive gameplay.”
    • “Dozens of hours of grinding are required, even if you buy the 'starter pack'. I also thought that by purchasing 'no ads' that would mean you could collect rewards by not watching them, but it's not the case; it just means no pop-up ads.”
    • “The game is alright, simple idea, but grinding to get the right amount of coins to get the other skins is just stupid.”

Many users suggest that excessive ads contribute to performance problems, indicating a need for better optimization overall.

    • “Very good game, it runs smoothly and never has any problems. The amount of ads is perfect; you only get an ad once in a while, and the ad isn't even annoying!”
    • “I love James, really happy to see a game about the channel. The only thing is the game needs a little bit more optimization; sometimes when I click to drop on a bouncing object, it stutters, but other than that, I am super happy.”
    • “It runs smoothly and it has recognizable characters if you watch the videos on YouTube.”
    • “The performance seemed to be slow until I turned off my Wi-Fi to stop the ads, which seemed to resolve a lot of the performance issues.”
