The monetization strategy of the game has drawn mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the frequency and length of ads, which often disrupt gameplay and can lead to crashes. While some users appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, others feel that the game heavily relies on in-app purchases and that the ads do not always function as intended, contributing to a perception of the game as a "cash grab." Overall, the balance between free play and monetization appears to be a significant point of contention among players.
“Actually, it's pretty amazing as it has no ads, there are a lot of ways to get energy, and it often gives you a lot of extra rewards... good job👍👍👍”
“No ads and no need to buy to advance.”
“Teams that listen are worth me making an in-game purchase here and there to support the team.”
“It's not fun after level 10, and the cash grab attempt is obvious.”
“This game is a time killer, its nice to play when you're just passing time, it would be a five star if it wouldn't take so long to build your energy bar, and it has too many ads.”
“This is simply an advertising platform disguised as a game.”

The gameplay is generally entertaining and engaging, with a compelling storyline and decent mechanics; however, it is severely hampered by an unbalanced energy system that limits playtime to just a few minutes before requiring long waits for energy to recharge. Many players express frustration over the need to spend money to progress, leading to a gameplay experience that feels short and often repetitive. While some enjoy the graphics and overall design, the overwhelming consensus is that the energy mechanics detract significantly from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“Gameplay is lovely and the storyline is very cool!”
“Storyline keeps you hooked and gameplay is very fluid.”
“I love the gameplay, the graphics are pretty good for an app.”
“Sometimes, you can find bonus health which helps the gameplay last a bit longer, but unless you are willing to pay, this is a game played in short bursts that takes an eternity to finish.”
“However, you only have 25 energy and most of the things you do in the game cost 6 to 16 energy, so it's a lot of short spurts of gameplay due to the energy system.”
“Energy to clear obstacles is way too small and at most gives you five minutes of gameplay before having to wait 6 hours to recharge.”
