The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism, primarily due to the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay and the high cost of in-app purchases, which many players find prohibitive. While some users appreciate the option to play without spending money, the reliance on ads for rewards and progression has led to frustration, with many calling for a reduction or removal of ads altogether. Overall, the monetization approach is seen as intrusive and detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game.
