The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and intrusiveness of ads, particularly as they progress through levels. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for in-game rewards or to remove ads for a fee, others feel that the game pushes too hard for in-app purchases, making it difficult to progress without spending money.

The game's story aspect is primarily centered around a series of challenging missions that players must complete to progress, but many users find these missions frustratingly difficult and repetitive.

While the graphics and gameplay are praised, the lack of variety in mission types and the overwhelming traffic during missions detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.

It's supposed to be a game to play when you're bored and waiting, but it fails to do that horribly with too many unlocks and other issues, turning a good concept into a grinding game that defeats its original purpose.”
