The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism due to an overwhelming number of ads, with many players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. While some users acknowledge that ads are a common aspect of free games, the frequency and intrusiveness of the ads in this game are seen as excessive, leading to frustration and a diminished gaming experience. A few players noted that the option to pay for an ad-free experience exists, but many feel that the game is not worth the investment given the current ad saturation.
