The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism, with many players feeling that it leans heavily on in-app purchases and advertisements, often leading to a "pay-to-win" environment. Users report frequent issues with ad functionality, including connection errors and a lack of available ads, which diminishes the gameplay experience and progress. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for speed boosts, the overall sentiment suggests that the monetization approach feels exploitative and detracts from the game's enjoyment.
“Better than a lot of games; lots of in-app purchases which make it better.”
“No ads is a big plus, unlike a few others I have had and uninstalled because of that.”
“Great game, no ads unless you want to watch them. You could play at your own pace, not bad.”
“Good game but complete rip off with regards to the in-app purchases which literally do nothing whatsoever.”
“After all this time the game just stopped working and before that it became a pay-to-win game only advertising items they sell to help win in-game; otherwise, it's pointless, you won't stop spending money, so my advice is to just find another game.”
“The prices on in-game purchases have hiked up in the last few months and the developers keep making subtle changes to the game and steadily watering down some rewards that show them to be some of the most greed-driven in the industry.”
