The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many players report being bombarded with unskippable ads after nearly every action, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. While some users acknowledge the necessity of ads in free-to-play games, they express a strong desire for a paid option to remove ads entirely, as the current ad frequency significantly detracts from the enjoyment of the game.
- “There are some microtransactions, but they are not required at all.”
- “It can even be played entirely without an internet connection and doesn't ask you to buy microtransactions every 5 seconds.”
- “The game is really fun and an easy concept, and you don't need to make any in-game purchases to make it far.”
- “I came back to this fun little time killer just to find that it had been turned into an anti-player cash grab mobile game made by a game company that has made some very original games. For someone who says they understand players, this was one of the few fun mobile games, not because of your so-called money-hungry anti-player microtransactions and freaking looping ads.”
- “The problem is that 30 seconds of gameplay requires interacting with at least 3 minutes of ads. The ads take longer than playing a round in most cases.”
- “This game used to be a lot of fun, but when I reinstalled it to play again, there are so many ads. It's not just 5 seconds and then skip ads; it's full unskippable ads constantly in between anything I do.”

The game's story and mission structure have received mixed feedback from players. While many enjoy the quirky premise of capturing zombies and the engaging gameplay, a significant number express frustration over the lack of new missions after reaching level 82, with many stating that the game feels incomplete without further content. Players are eager for updates that would introduce new levels and missions to maintain their interest in the game.

- “Awesome gameplay, and a good storyline.”
- “The game is excellent as I have posted in previous reviews as well, but now it looks like it's only built till level 81. At level 82, it's saying more missions to come and I see no way to progress on the next levels 82 onwards.”
- “After reaching the last level, we both got bored with the game, because there's no point in catching zombies anymore, since there are no missions and nothing to buy apart from cosmetics, making juice becomes pointless.”
- “The only problem I have is that the mission has been stuck on level 82 for more than a year and no updates are done for new missions or new zombies.”
- “I reached level 82 and it is saying that 'more missions coming soon' for such a long time so please add more missions to go to level 83.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessive and tedious, particularly in the late game where progression slows significantly and becomes less rewarding. While some enjoy the initial gameplay and the challenge of leveling up, many express frustration with the long wait times for resources and the pressure to spend money to avoid prolonged grinding. Overall, the game is seen as fun but increasingly repetitive, leading to a decline in enjoyment over time.
- “The game has a steep paywall, but if you're willing to invest a few months per stage, it can be quite enjoyable, albeit a bit tedious.”
- “Grinding can feel repetitive at times, but the sense of progression and achievement makes it worthwhile.”
- “While the grinding aspect can be time-consuming, it adds depth to the gameplay and keeps you engaged.”
- “The first reason is the game becomes very boring because it becomes very tedious.”
- “Good visuals and decent progression, but the game increasingly tries to make itself more and more of a grindy snoozefest by making cooldowns longer, with the only way to progress being related to spending money you earn in other challenges. Saving up doesn't feel rewarding and is just boring as well.”
- “Although the game is very good and engaging, the ads have made it tedious to play. I understand they need to get money from somewhere, but they have a pay-to-win system. An ad every once in a while would be fine, but the screen has a permanent ad on top, and every time you interact with a game feature, you get a 30-second ad.”
