The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of coherence and clarity, with many players experiencing frustrating bugs and mission inconsistencies that hinder progress. Players report that quest descriptions often do not match the required tasks, leading to confusion and a sense of being stuck, particularly at higher levels where missions become increasingly difficult or impossible to complete. Overall, the narrative experience feels stale and lacks engaging elements, making it less enjoyable for players as they progress.
“I quite enjoy the game; however, on level 3, the last quest to complete is 200k of trash, but it is impossible to get that. I can't even use diamonds to pass it, so now I'm just stuck, which isn't great.”
“On stage 2, on the last mission to complete 2 farmers market orders, but I've been doing that for 3 days now, and progression is still at 0. It's a wall keeping me from moving forward.”
“In tier 2, they forgot the code to increase truck capacity, the sorter machine constantly jammed up waiting for helicopters, and the quests often don't take account of what you have already accomplished.”
“Game is a bit stale and boring; not enough diversity or a real storyline or enough interactive properties to keep the game engaging. It's not worth the storage space, and I give up. It's not really worth anyone's time, and definitely don't ever spend real money on these money suckers. That's why I do the reviews and play the games, so you don't have to waste time or real money.”
“I'm on 37/40 missions but will not be able to unlock level 3 due to the impossible mission.”
“I quite enjoy the game; however, on level 3, the last quest to complete is 200k of trash, but it is impossible to get that. I can't even use diamonds to pass it, so now I'm just stuck, which isn't great.”

The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the mechanics but expressing frustration over frequent interruptions from ads and various choke points that hinder progress.

“Overall, the game is fun, has good mechanics but the ads spoil all the fun.”

“I'm very disappointed at having bought a couple of upgrades just to have the game stall out because the developers haven't released more gameplay.”
“And so many choke points in the game that just stop the gameplay from progressing: 1) cleaner queue blocking trucks 2) truck blocking queue of trucks while collecting trash 3) dump yard too slow to process the dump while there are 20 or 30+ trucks waiting in queue even after upgrading capacity, speed, etc. 4) power generation becomes so expensive later.”
“Game mechanics are imbalanced... the city doesn't function properly half the time even if you are watching the ads all the time to get the free boosts.”
