Cons
Con Repetition of the same levels caused by many loses may aggravate players
The game is difficult and you will die a lot which means that there will be a lot of repetition of playing certain levels.
Con Has ads
You can skip them with the premium currency. But the ads are always triggered by user action, so they don't randomly interrupt your games. This means they're also technically optional, but they give you bonuses you'll probably want.
Con Mediocre translation
While the basic spelling and grammar seem correct, the writing could really be better. It's often not clear what things do, even when they're documented.
