The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive and intrusive ads that interrupt gameplay, particularly after reaching higher levels. While some users appreciate the option to play for free without mandatory purchases, others feel that the constant ad bombardment detracts from the overall experience and makes progression feel limited. A few players noted that while ads can be annoying, they are not overly intrusive, and some even suggested implementing a battle pass to reduce ad frequency as a potential improvement.
“Great game and you don't need to pay anything to win; you just play. Also, devs, hear me out: make the battle pass give you no ads while it's active so there is another reason to buy instead of just more rewards.”
“This game is awesome and has no ads.”
“I had to uninstall because of the never ceasing ads being played.”
“Now the ads play mid-game and when you die.”
“Was fun and the ads were fair until about the seventh level/world and then they start shoving ads down your throat whenever they can (including mid-game while you're trying to choose skills).”

Overall, the graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many players appreciating their quality and fluidity. However, some users express frustration over progress resets linked to graphic upgrades, which detracts from their experience. While the graphics are described as decent and enjoyable, there are concerns about the impact of updates on gameplay continuity.
“I like the graphics, sound, and the effects (although duplicates of other games) are solid.”
“Thank you so much for not drowning me with ads, I really like this, the graphics are wonderful and the upgrades are cool.”
“I have been playing for months, and all of a sudden I get some comic pop-up and my progress resets. I was level 6 and had all the permanent upgrades I could and almost full epic gear (aside from boots). The game is fun and I would recommend it, but if they reset everyone every time they upgrade the graphics of a minimal graphics game, then that's just annoying.”
“Graphics are decent.”
“Very solid fluid graphics and gameplay.”
