The monetization strategy of the game is heavily criticized for its excessive and intrusive ad placements, with players reporting that they spend more time watching ads than actually playing. Even after purchasing the "no ads" option, users still encounter numerous ads tied to gameplay progression and upgrades, leading many to label the experience as a cash grab. The requirement for an internet connection to play further exacerbates the frustration, as it prevents players from avoiding ads by going offline.
- “I like the game and would be more willing to pay for the no ads if the games actually let me play more than one round without forced ads.”
- “Dunes is a better game with similar gameplay but paying for no ads actually works.”
- “Awesome game with no ads!”
- “You'll spend more time watching ads (nearly all of which require being closed 3 times before actually returning to the game) than anything else.”
- “Even after you pay to remove ads, you're pretty much forced to watch them anyways because after so many upgrades you can't bypass the 'free' one unless you watch.”
- “The game is fun, but the ads are far too intrusive to the point it's forcing you into other games and having to close the app and restart the game.”
