The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback due to the excessive and intrusive nature of the ads. Players report being bombarded with ads every 30 seconds, often during gameplay, which disrupts the experience and makes the game nearly unplayable. Many users express frustration over the lack of effective ad removal options, even after purchasing the "no ads" feature, leading to a consensus that the game prioritizes ad revenue over user enjoyment.
- “It's a fun game and a great way to pass time, especially if you buy the no ads extra in-app.”
- “Good fun game but I bought the no ads and I still get ads; hopefully they can fix that, otherwise good game.”
- “Great game if you play with airplane mode since you have no ads.”
- “Whatever you've seen in the ads, the game is absolutely 0% of it. As you play, you are bombarded with ads, even while fighting the enemy. Right after the ads, you get slapped with a window to buy the no-ads pack. This game is so misleading and frustrating that I wish I could report it to Google or have my government ban it from the country.”
- “The sheer number of ads makes this game nearly unplayable after the first level or two. It's a shame because it could have been a fun game.”
