The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the limited and non-intrusive ads, while others express frustration over the frequency and length of ads, particularly after levels.

“Amazing game, I really like this game. It's so good, no ads and great parkour movements!”

“You will be seeing yourself watching ads just to get that extra trick or playing a level 100 times over and over again.”
“I spent more time watching ads than playing.”

“I love this game, but I'm giving it 1 star because this game desperately needs an update. There are more glitches and things that shouldn't be in the game than I can even count. Sometimes when you are running to jump, you will for no reason just stop and die, or all the time this happens. I swipe up to jump and I slide; the controls are just inverted sometimes for no reason. Please fix at least these problems.”

The humor in the game is frequently highlighted by players, who find the glitches, ragdoll animations, and character interactions amusing.

“This has been a really good game and the levels are not that hard or impossible, it depends on your gameplay and I finished all the levels including the hunter mode. I also enjoyed trying out funny attempts while earning money for new tricks and also annoying the hunter lol. The sound when they hit the wall really hard is so shocking, but don't forget the power-up that will launch the hunter far away, and it's really satisfying and funny, so it's a 10/10 lol.”
