The monetization strategy of the game has drawn significant criticism from users, with many expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads, often appearing after every level or even during gameplay. While some players acknowledge the necessity of ads for a free game, they argue that the frequency and length of these ads detract from the overall experience, making it feel more like an "ad simulator" than a game.
