The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its heavy reliance on ads, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for bonuses, the frequency and length of these ads—often exceeding 30 seconds—are seen as excessive and intrusive, leading to frustration and game crashes. Additionally, the high cost of removing ads, often around $30, is viewed as a cash grab, further detracting from the overall gaming experience.
- “The monetization is extreme, the gameplay is incredibly unbalanced, and the levels are just way too long, which sounds good until you realize how that too is designed to push you towards ads and microtransactions.”
- “One great part is you have the option of permanently purchasing no ads.”
- “Really enjoy this game and in-app purchases are reasonable.”
- “You will spend more time watching ads than playing the game.”
- “The game is fun but the ads are way too many and after the last update the ads don't work.”
- “The ads are long and unskippable but not necessary for meaningful progress.”

Overall, the game offers a solid balance of difficulty and replayability, with players enjoying the challenge of experimenting with different loadouts and the addition of endless runs. However, some users express concerns about the impact of pay-to-win mechanics on the competitive aspect, which may limit replay value for those unwilling to spend money. Despite these issues, many players still find the game fun and engaging, highlighting its classic arcade style and enjoyable challenges.
- “Definitely one of the better flying shooters, good balance of difficulty and replayability. Choosing and testing different loadouts to defeat the levels can be frustrating, but progress is made even if you don't make it far into a level. I enjoy that aspect as I don't want an easy game you can just plow through, nor do I want it to be too hard and progress stopped behind a paywall. This game gets the balance right.”
- “I played this game about 5 years ago and it was a lot better, although now it has the replayability with the addition of endless runs.”
- “Classic arcade style scrolling aircraft shooter with some extra perpetual upgrade elements to spice it up and add replay value.”

- “Had it 2 years ago and it got too hard, but I still love the replay value. However, you must pay to get better upgrades, and I just don't want to pay to play.”
- “I played this game about 5 years ago and it was a lot better. Although now it has some replayability with the addition of endless runs.”
