The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, with many essential actions requiring players to watch ads, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. While there is an option to purchase a premium version to remove ads, many players feel that the ad frequency is excessive and invasive, making it difficult to progress without engaging with ads. Overall, while the game is praised for its cute design and fun mechanics, the ad dependency is a significant point of frustration for users.
