The monetization aspect of the game is heavily criticized for relying on misleading mobile game ads that promote fake gameplay experiences. Players express frustration over the game's failure to innovate beyond its predecessor, as it primarily consists of mini-games inspired by these deceptive ads, leading to a repetitive and unsatisfying experience. Overall, the game is seen as a compilation of concepts that could have been enjoyable if they were original rather than recycled from misleading advertisements.
“Sadly, the game does not improve upon the faults in the last game and continues making fully fledged levels based on mobile game ads.”
“It's literally the most popular mobile ads that lead you to download a fake game, but actually that game.”
“It's a compilation of mini-games you see in these annoying, downright illegal ads advertising games that aren't real and never were real.”

The gameplay is criticized for its reliance on basic mechanics and a limited variety of level designs, with only five mediocre mini-games that offer minimal depth. In contrast, a ball bouncing game within it is noted for having more engaging mechanics, suggesting it is the standout feature of the overall experience.
“The gameplay does little to go beyond the basic mechanics and features a limited amount of level designs.”
“There's just 5 mediocre mini-games, and the mechanics are bare bones.”
“The ball bouncing game also features more mechanics, further reinforcing the idea that it is the main reason to buy the game.”

“It's a ton of fun and a surprisingly phenomenal soundtrack that I wish they'd release separately because, whew, I'd absolutely listen to that daily.”
“Good concept, very good execution, bangin' soundtrack.”
“The soundtrack to this game, specifically the slingshot game, goes unreasonably hard.”
“They are using music from Hololive, lmao.”
