The monetization strategy of the game heavily relies on advertisements, which players find intrusive and frustrating, often leading to a negative gameplay experience. Many users express dissatisfaction with the frequency and length of ads, as well as technical issues that prevent ads from loading properly. Suggestions for improvement include offering a one-time payment option to remove ads and enhancing the selling mechanics to reduce the need for excessive ad viewing.
- “No ads!!”
- “Very fun, no ads, quick clicking, no lagging.”
- “Update your game! It's been a week since its release. We don't mind seeing the ads to lessen the selling period, but to sell an epic item, you need to scroll down 100 times. I don't understand this type of gaming experience. Add a junk shop where you can sell low-cost instant items and browse by rarity. It's so dumb to scroll down to the end for a high-cost item... 😠😠😡 Time waste.”
- “Great game, however, I have noticed I'm watching more videos to sell everything off, to get the hammers to then open the boxes to upgrade the characters. I can see many will get bored of this game. How about a VIP or one-off payment to get rid of all the ads?”
- “Great game, but these ads are ridiculous, especially if one has paid.”
