The monetization aspect of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often requiring players to watch lengthy, unskippable ads after nearly every level. Many players express frustration over the lack of an option to purchase an ad-free experience, with some suggesting that the game has shifted towards a "cash grab" model filled with microtransactions. While some users have found ways to mitigate the ad experience by turning off their internet, the consensus is that the excessive ads detract from the overall enjoyment of the game.
“It gives you free hints and even help when needed with no ads.”
“I have the game on iPad where there are no ads and have got 100% stars. I love the game.”
“Microtransactions are truly optional, but the game does have an unfortunate amount of ads with no payment option to remove them.”
“The game is fun, but the experience is completely ruined by Rovio's hyper-aggressive ads and microtransactions.”
“I used to love this game, but it went downhill with the ads and the 'try again later' thing because then I have to play multiple levels on different areas. It really ruins the game watching an ad every time you play.”
“This was a great game once, but then the ads came like a hail storm.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with many reporting frequent glitches and bugs that disrupt gameplay, such as freezing, disappearing objects, and graphical issues. While some players enjoy the fun mechanics and overall experience, the prevalence of game-breaking glitches, particularly in specific levels like "Road to El Porkado," detracts from the enjoyment and leads to frustration. Overall, while the game has potential, it requires urgent updates to address these stability issues.
“It's a very well-made game, and I've found no glitches while I'm playing.”
“I gave five stars because this game is insanely fun; no glitches, no lag.”
“Very good game but the punch box, TNT, plunger wheels, and grappling hook items are very glitchy and can make you phase through terrain, disappear into thin air, and collect every single star box at once for some reason, making the game way too buggy and sometimes easy.”
“Now loot boxes are a thing, the graphical glitches are insane, and there's a game-breaking glitch that collects everything on the map if you shoot six plungers at some non-terrain.”
“Great game but with glitches that make completing levels impossible.”
