The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, who report an overwhelming number of ads that disrupt gameplay and often fail to provide promised rewards. Many players feel the game has shifted towards a "pay-to-win" model, making it difficult to progress without spending real money, and express frustration over the intrusive nature of advertisements, which can crash the game and diminish the overall experience. Overall, the consensus is that the excessive ads and reliance on in-app purchases have turned a once-enjoyable game into a frustrating cash grab.
- “Good but too many ads; can we at least pay for no ads?”
- “Because it has no ads and it is a very interesting game.”
- “Great game but it's almost impossible to progress through the game without making in-game purchases.”
- “At first, I thought this game would be better than Mario Kart Tour (which is already terrible, so the expectations are pretty low), but to my surprise, this game has slowly evolved into a pay-to-win cash grab, and to make matters worse, the AI rubber bands you!”
- “This app was great in its glory days; now it's just a money grab with ads.”
- “The game is good, but can there be a way to disable ads? The number of ads is absurd, and after a while, you can't really progress unless you spend real money as the upgrade of cars requires parts, which are almost impossible to get unless you play it 24/7.”
