The monetization strategy of the game has been heavily criticized due to an overwhelming number of ads, which disrupt gameplay and frustrate users. Many players feel that even after purchasing ad removal options, they still encounter frequent advertisements, leading to a poor overall experience. While some acknowledge the need for ads in a free game, the consensus is that the current implementation is excessive and detracts significantly from enjoyment.
“It's recommended to buy the cheapest no ads; otherwise, there are ads every other click.”
“Hope they have offline mode like that one bomber friends I liked - flexible joystick, offline, no ads.”
“Still getting ads, didn't get the skins, none of the in-game rewards are free and I do not have access to the premium levels.”
“I am disappointed in this game, because there are now ads every time you claim the coins in a level and also there are almost no levels. I rate this 1 star because before, the game was good; now it's absolutely insanely bad.”
“After I paid to remove ads, there are still ads showing to me. Disappointed.”

The gameplay is described as initially enjoyable and reminiscent of classic Mario, but is heavily marred by intrusive ads and mobile game mechanics that disrupt the experience. Players express frustration over the frequent interruptions caused by advertisements, which detract from the overall fun and engagement of the game. While the core gameplay remains addictive, the overwhelming presence of ads significantly diminishes the enjoyment.
“The gameplay is fun, but there are so many adverts that it's a rare event to experience it.”
“Super lovely and addictive gameplay, but too many ads, and it's disappointing.”
“This used to be a fun offline game, and while it has improved with the graphics and gameplay, it can't be played offline despite being tagged as such.”
“First few levels are fine, and then the screen is filled with annoying mobile game mechanics (daily reward, ads everywhere, etc).”
“The game mechanics are terrible.”
“Too many ads destroyed the mood; also, the gameplay is childish. Do not compare it with Bounce Tales; it was a classic.”

“Levels are good in the game, but I feel there are some problems with the graphics, because when the ball bounces, it looks strange to the eyes.”

The music in the game is generally well-received up to level 60, but players express frustration as it becomes repetitive afterward, coinciding with an increase in intrusive ads that disrupt the experience. Additionally, the lack of sound settings and the inability to skip unengaging story elements further detracts from the overall enjoyment of the music.
“It was good till level 60, but after that the game repeats and the ads get worse. Even if you skip the ads, the music in the ads doesn't stop even if you exit the app.”
“There is no setting for the sound and music, and no option to skip the boring and useless story. I hate waiting through a pointless story.”

Players have reported several stability issues, including glitches that prevent levels from displaying correctly and a malfunctioning treasure chest feature that remains stuck on the gold chest without providing rewards.
