The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive frequency and intrusiveness of ads. Players report being interrupted by ads every few moves, often leading to a frustrating gameplay experience, and some have noted that even purchasing an ad-free option does not eliminate ads entirely. While some users understand the need for ads in a free game, the overwhelming number and aggressive nature of the ads have led many to consider uninstalling the game or seeking alternatives.

“Less ads would be nice, but they are short ones so it makes it tolerable.”
“Simple but challenging, addictive, pretty, pleasant sound effects, and no ads unless you choose to watch them!”

The music in the game is widely praised for its soothing and calming qualities, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.

“Started the 2nd level, only to be bombarded by adverts blasting loud music, which has completely destroyed the atmosphere of the game.”
“Note to Crazy Labs: I really like the app, but my biggest problem isn't the ads, it's the fact that external (like built-in media player or Pandora) music volume gets cut in half or more and makes it impossible to listen to music and play the game at the same time.”

“The in-game mini missions make the game more engaging.”
“I only have 2 problems with it: there are a few minor bugs (such as the countdown for the bonus word resetting when it's not supposed to; or that the quest 'connect __ number ∆ times in one turn' only registers if you do exactly ∆ connections, going over ∆ does not count; etc.) and ad spam.”
“After an uninstall and reinstall, the coins I paid for are gone and the missions are still frozen.”
“Even though you don't get a prize or anything after you complete a mission, it's not addicting but I can keep playing without getting bored.”
