The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often appearing after every level or even during puzzles. While some players appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards or to eventually unlock an ad-free experience, the overwhelming frequency and intrusiveness of the ads have led to a negative impact on the overall enjoyment of the game.

“This game would be great if it didn't freeze on the ads continually and it doesn't give you your extras because of the freezing when the ad is over.”
