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. Players report spending more time watching ads than actually playing, with ads appearing after nearly every level, often lasting longer than the gameplay itself. While some users acknowledge the need for ads in free games, the overwhelming frequency and length of these ads have led to a negative impact on the overall gaming experience, prompting many to consider uninstalling the game or playing in airplane mode to avoid them.
- “Very fun, but I paid for no ads and after a bit.”
- “I paid for the game with no ads ($2.49), so it's great for me!”
- “Less ads or no ads this is a 10/5 for fun.”
- “Game has solid mechanics and would be a 5-star game, but it has an ad after every... god... dang... level. I can't even play the game anymore; it was fun but now it is just annoying. The further I got, the longer the ads were. Now it is at the point of it showing me a full-length almost 1-minute-long ad every time I finish a level. I would love to keep playing, but it is just impossible until the ads calm down. Seriously, it is insanity; don't install this, for your own sake.”
- “The problem though is its abuse of advertisements: I know many other people have complained about this issue, and they're not wrong! The ads are shown after every completed puzzle, maybe after every other puzzle (if you're lucky), and you have to sit through the whole thing to continue almost 80% of the time, which takes out the whole point of playing this for fun... the game-to-ad ratio in time spent is probably 1:2.”
- “I understand that the developers need to make money, but man... I want to enjoy this but can't. Uninstalling this, no problems with the game itself but the ads (that no one wants to see when they want to relax) are ruining the flow of it.”

Overall, players are requesting the addition of music and sound effects to enhance the game's atmosphere and engagement.

The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous users reporting frequent glitches, freezes, and lag that significantly disrupt gameplay. Many players express frustration over the game's inability to save progress, often forcing them to restart from the beginning after ads or crashes. While the concept is appreciated, the overwhelming technical issues detract from the overall experience.
- “It is a very simple game with simple graphics, simple controls, and little effort has been put into it. Naturally, I would rate it 3 stars since it is unfair for a game like this to get a higher review than games that have been in the making for over a year. However, the reason I rated it 2 stars is because of the huge amount of glitches and the ads that appear every three seconds.”
- “Love the concept of the game... but every single ad freezes the game and forces you to completely restart. Progress doesn't save, so you start at level 1 every time you play.”
- “The game freezes way too much and that sucks because I really liked the game.”
