The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism for its misleading advertisements and excessive ad presence. Many users feel deceived as the gameplay does not match the promotional content, leading to frustration over the frequent and often unskippable ads that detract from the overall experience. While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game prioritizes monetization over genuine gameplay enjoyment, with numerous complaints about microtransactions and the lack of transparency in advertising.
“No ads unless you click on them for free items.”
“Nice no ads unless you press them.”
“Great game no ads.”
“Surprise surprise, it's a mobile game that just wants you to spend money on microtransactions by making progress really fast when you start out then weaning you off of progress to the point where you're doing nothing unless you spend money.”
“Misleading ads, pushes too many microtransactions, can only play for a few minutes before you run out of energy.”
“The ads and pictures are a lie, the ads running on Facebook show a decorating game, the photos show an organizing game when in reality it's a match/candy crush style game.”

While some players appreciate the graphics, the overall consensus is that the gameplay experience is not as engaging or fun as expected.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious and repetitive, often feeling misled by promotional content that suggests more engaging gameplay. While some mini-games are enjoyable initially, the overall experience becomes monotonous due to excessive time requirements and a focus on in-game purchases.
“Used to be decent, but they push so much 'buy this', 'buy that' that it's tedious.”
“It's okay... I downloaded this because of the ad showing the post with the body parts and cleaning them, and that was a mini-game. It was literally only one time you get to play the mini-game. It's fun at first, but the merging becomes more tedious after a while. It's not bad, just gets kind of boring after a while.”
“It's pay-to-win, but the amount of time to recharge anything makes this game tedious.”

“I love how the game doesn't take itself too seriously, making every failure a comedic moment rather than a frustrating one.”
