The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads, with players reporting ads after nearly every level and frequent banner ads during gameplay. Many users express frustration that the ads significantly detract from the overall experience, often resulting in more time spent watching ads than actually playing the game. While some acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, the consensus is that the current implementation is excessive and negatively impacts enjoyment.
“5 out of 5! Just turn off Wi-Fi while playing to avoid ads completely.”
“At the end, it's just about stealing the hair, and I just turn off my internet to avoid ads.”
“I don't recommend it if you hate ads, but if there were no ads, I would give this a five. Seriously, remove the ads!”
“App is about 2% playing a game and 98% watching ads.”
