The monetization aspect of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that disrupt gameplay. Many users feel that the game is a cash grab, as essential features and options are locked behind paywalls, and even after purchasing ad removal, ads still persist. While some players acknowledge the need for ads in free games, they argue that the frequency and intrusiveness of the ads make the game nearly unplayable without spending additional money.
- “I love this game! I love all of Bitlife's creations ❤ I usually wait to buy in-app purchases, but with this game, I went ahead and bought it because of all the other Bitlife games.”
- “It's great that there's barely any ads, and it's fun! I got it this morning and have been playing it since I got out of school.”
- “I highly recommend buying in-game purchases, but it's fun either way!”
- “The amount and duration of ads in this game is just ridiculous.”
- “The sheer amount of ads makes the game unplayable.”
- “It's a cash grab, you can't do much and the ads are ridiculous.”

The humor in the game is a mixed bag, with many players finding it genuinely hilarious and reminiscent of the original Bitlife, featuring absurd scenarios and witty dialogue.

- “This is a cruel game. People are so mean to the animals; it's not funny. It's a game for monsters who like hurting animals. A game that should have never been made. It goes to show what kind of people are out there. I hate this game. I think it should be taken down and gone, or if it's going to be available, at least change it so you're not treated badly. If a kid were to play this game and read the mean things done to the animals, that just shows them that it's okay to harm animals.”
- “Not funny at all, made me cry.”

The game has limited replayability compared to similar titles like BitLife, primarily due to its bare-bones content and repetitive gameplay.

Enhancing the variety of animals and features could improve its replay value.
