The monetization strategy of this game has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming number of ads. Players report being bombarded with ads after nearly every level, often spending more time watching advertisements than actually playing the game. Many users express frustration over the inability to play offline, as the game requires an internet connection to display ads, leading to a perception of it being a cash grab rather than a genuinely enjoyable experience.

The game suffers from significant stability issues, with users reporting frequent glitches, crashes, and lag that disrupt gameplay. Additionally, the overwhelming number of ads exacerbates the experience, making it nearly unplayable for many. Overall, players express frustration with the game's performance, recommending against installation until these issues are addressed.
“There are so many glitches in the game; when I just complete a level, I go all the way left.”
“So many ads; they literally don't stop, and you can't play offline. This game would be cooler if there were fewer ads because they play the same ad like four times. Whenever an ad pops up, it doesn't even let you close it; you have to get all the way off the game, and sometimes it glitches your device, requiring a full restart just to play a level.”
“This game sucks; it is buggy. Never play it.”

“This game is so broken; basically, at the end of each level, there's a glitch where you can make your ball go crazy and fly off into space. The only reason I like this game is because of how wacky and glitchy it is. I think it's funny when it's glitchy and buggy.”
“I really like it because it is so funny, and I pretend the balls need to go into the bathroom. 🚻 😂”
“It's funny that balls grow bigger when they touch other ones.”
