The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of forced ads after nearly every gameplay attempt, which detracts from the overall experience. Players express frustration over the slow energy recharge system, which limits playtime and encourages in-game purchases to progress, leading many to label it a cash grab. Despite some initial enjoyment, the aggressive monetization tactics, including mandatory ads and ineffective reward systems, have prompted numerous users to recommend against downloading the game.
- “If the energy system was removed, this game would be 5/5 because all other microtransactions are voluntary upgrades and quality of life improvements.”
- “I like the game, steady progress keeps me wanting to play... so naturally I attempted to purchase energy to keep playing, the purchase showed up on my card, but not in game... I just wasted two bucks for nothing... I don't recommend making in-app purchases... but, for what it is, the game is fun.”
- “Best game ever, no ads.”
- “Not a bad game at first but then they hit you with forced ads after every single attempt and you get 10 energy then have to wait an hour to get more unless you pay.”
- “Don't waste your time on this game; it has an energy system with a low amount of time to play. The game loop is extremely short, the main gameplay is grinding, but it doesn't even want you to play. It has ads to restore energy but only restores 2, and only 2 ads can play per day, so only 4 free energy; the rest you have to wait or pay money, all just to play repeated gameplay.”
- “The time you have to wait for energy is ridiculous, having to wait 20 minutes or longer for 1 energy. The only other way you can get energy is by watching ads or paying for them.”

The gameplay is generally described as enjoyable and engaging, but it is severely hampered by a restrictive energy system that limits playtime and encourages microtransactions. Players report a repetitive experience with frequent ads and various bugs that disrupt the flow, leading to frustration despite the core mechanics being fun. Overall, while the gameplay has potential, the monetization strategy and technical issues detract significantly from the experience.
- “Great gameplay even though it's repetitive.”
- “Gameplay is simple, yet enjoyable.”
- “This game has one of those gameplay loops that's always engaging.”
- “Don't waste your time on this game; it has an energy system with a low amount of time to play. The game loop is extremely short, the main gameplay is grinding, but it doesn't even want you to play. It has ads to restore energy but only restores 2, and only 2 ads can play per day, so only 4 free energy. The rest you have to wait for or pay money, all just to play repeated gameplay.”
- “I would be giving this game a 4-star review, but the limited amount of energy you get really takes it down. You only get 1 energy per hour and can only hold a maximum of 10 unless you pay real money for an upgrade. The game is fun, but honestly, the lack of ability to really play ruins it a fair bit. If there was a way to get more energy for free, that would definitely improve the gameplay, or if your energy got filled once per hour instead of only giving you 1 energy, it just feels like this game is a cash grab.”
- “The energy mechanic is absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary.”

The grinding aspect of the game receives mixed reviews, with many players finding it tedious due to the restrictive energy system that limits playtime and encourages monetization.

Overall, the potential for fun is overshadowed by the developers' monetization strategies, making it difficult to fully enjoy the grinding experience without spending money.

The rest you have to wait for or pay money, all just to play repeated gameplay.”
