The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay. Many users report that ads appear after nearly every level, often lasting longer than the gameplay itself, and there is no option to pay to remove them. While some players have found ways to cope, such as turning off Wi-Fi, the general consensus is that the ad overload significantly detracts from the overall gaming experience.
“This is the best one yet, no ads for me, no interrupts mid-game, and it's great to play on a road trip or vacation. Overall, an easy 5 stars.”
“Very nice game, love it, and very easy with no ads.”
“For kids who always said 'too many ads,' this is a free game, so it has many ads. Just think about how much work the developers put into this game.”
“My 3 year old son is in love with it but it's literally 5 seconds of gameplay followed by 30 seconds to 1 minute of ads, with absolutely no way to remove them.”
“You can't play this game with constant interruption of ads... every time you fire the gun an ad starts... complete waste of time.”
